# How to send an announcement and see who got it in Dumpster Controls

The "Company Channel" reaches every driver and office member at once, and shows you who confirmed.

1. ## Open "Messages" > "Company Channel"
  It is pinned at the top of the "Team" section.
2. ## Write the announcement
  For example: "Landfill closes at 3 pm today." Every message you send here is an announcement, and every driver and office member gets a push.
3. ## Watch the confirmations
  Under your announcement you see "3 of 8 got it". Hover the line to read who confirmed and who is still missing.

## What happens next

- Drivers see a "Got it" button under the announcement in their app. One tap confirms.

## Troubleshooting

### The total looks wrong.

The total counts your active drivers. Drivers marked inactive are not counted.

## 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.
