# How to manage a consolidated invoice in Dumpster Controls

Active consolidated invoices live on the customer card in the Customers page, where you can resend them, add or remove invoices, charge the saved card, or cancel the consolidation.

## Before you start

- An existing consolidated invoice (see the consolidation article).

1. ## Find the panel
  Expand the customer in "Customers". The "Active Consolidated Invoices" panel lists each consolidated invoice with its status ("Sent", "Partially paid", "Paid", "Overdue", or "Cancelled"), total, and due date.
2. ## Share or resend
  Use "View" to open the public invoice page, "Copy link" to copy it, or "Resend" to send it again by email and SMS.
3. ## Add or remove invoices
  Click "Add invoices", then select more unpaid invoices below and confirm. Expand the row to see "Included invoices" and click "Remove" next to any unpaid one. The total recalculates and the payment link refreshes automatically.
4. ## Charge or cancel
  "Charge card" opens a confirmation to bill the saved card. "Cancel" asks "Cancel consolidated invoice?" and explains that all child invoices are detached and remain unpaid and selectable again; this cannot be undone.

## What happens next

- A fully paid consolidated invoice shows a "Paid" banner confirming all child invoices are settled.

## Troubleshooting

### "Copy link" says no public invoice link is available yet.

Use "Resend" to regenerate the link, as the error message suggests.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The software is free: dispatch, online booking, the driver app, invoicing, the Tresha AI assistant and every other feature, with no monthly fee, no trial period and no credit card to sign up. The only cost on the free plan is optional card processing when a customer pays by card through the platform: 2.99% plus $3.99 per transaction on the free plan. An optional Unlimited plan at $169 per month lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30. Prices as published on dumpstercontrols.io/pricing on 2026-09-23.

### Do you charge per driver, per truck or per order?

No. There is no per-driver, per-truck, per-user or per-order fee, and no order limit. A company with one truck and a company with twenty pay the same for the software: nothing.

### Is there a contract?

No. There is no contract, no minimum term and no setup fee. You create the account yourself, and on the free plan there is nothing to cancel because nothing is billed. The optional Unlimited plan is billed month to month.

### Which countries and languages are supported?

Dumpster Controls serves hauling companies in the United States and Canada. The app interface and the Tresha AI assistant are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese. The public pages, such as the blog, the help center and the landfill finder, are in English.

### How do I switch from another dumpster software?

Create a free account at dumpstercontrols.io/login, with no sales call and no credit card. Then import your customers from a CSV file using the template provided in the app; past orders can also be imported from a CSV. Container sizes and pricing are set up in Settings. The landfill database, with 1,750 active US and Canadian landfills as counted on 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
