How to read the weekly summary email in Dumpster Controls

Every Monday, company owners get a short recap of the last 7 days: orders created, money collected, and online bookings, with one button back to the dashboard.

Before you start

You are a company owner (the email goes to owners only).
Your company has at least one real order in its history.

## Find it in your inbox
The email arrives on Mondays from "Dumpster Controls" (updates@updates.dumpstercontrols.io). On an active week the subject reads "Your week at {company}: {n} orders, ${amount} collected".
## Read the three numbers
After "Here is what moved at {company} in the last 7 days:", three tiles show "Orders" (orders created, canceled ones excluded), "Collected" (completed payments received through the app), and "Online bookings" (orders that came in through your booking site).
## Jump back in
The "Open my dashboard" button takes you straight to your dashboard.
## Quiet weeks look different
With no orders in the last 7 days, the subject becomes "A fresh week for {company}: your board is ready" and the message reads "Quiet week at {company}: no orders registered in the last 7 days. When the phone rings, your board is 2 minutes away from tracking the whole job, delivery to payment." with a "Schedule my next delivery" button.

What happens next

The summary is sent at most once per week per company, and sample "DEMO-" orders are never counted.
If you previously unsubscribed from Dumpster Controls emails, the weekly summary honors that and stays out of your inbox.

Troubleshooting

I did not receive the email this Monday.

Check that you are the company owner, that the company already has at least one real order, and that your email address has not unsubscribed from Dumpster Controls messages. Also look in spam for the sender updates@updates.dumpstercontrols.io.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dumpster Controls really free?

Yes. The entire app is free for any company at any fleet size: 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. The entire app is free; an optional $169 per month plan lowers that to 2.99% plus $0.30 and adds a Sponsored spotlight in the public company directory. 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 $169 lower card rate 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 2026-10-23, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
