The section is headed "Money milestones". 2. ## Read the four rows "First payment received through the app" comes first, followed by "$10k received through the app", "$50k received through the app", and "$100k received through the app". A green check means earned; a lock means still ahead of you. 3. ## Know how they are earned The totals sum completed payments received through the app. The first payment gets its own confetti celebration; the $10k, $50k, and $100k marks are recorded quietly and simply appear checked in this dialog. ## What happens next - Milestones are detected during your dashboard visits, so a payment confirmed overnight shows up the next time you open the app. ## Troubleshooting ### I have collected more than $10k in total but the row is still locked. Only payments processed through Dumpster Controls count. Money collected outside the app (cash, checks, external card readers) is not part of this track. ## Related guides - [How to open the full level ladder in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/milestones-levels/open-the-full-level-ladder) - [How to send a payment link in Dumpster Controls](https://dumpstercontrols.io/help/invoicing-payments/send-a-payment-link) © 2026 Dumpster Controls.

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.

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.
