How to track Google Ads conversions from online bookings in Dumpster Controls
Redirect customers to your own thank-you page after a successful booking so Google Ads can count real purchases as conversions.
Before you start
- A thank-you page on your own website with your Google Ads conversion tag installed
- ## Open the Advanced tab
In "Online Booking", select the "Advanced" tab and scroll to the "Booking Confirmed Page URL" card: "Redirect customers to your own 'Thank You' page after a successful booking. Perfect for Google Ads conversion tracking." - ## Paste your URL
In the field labeled "Your \"Thank You\" page URL", paste the full URL (for example https://yoursite.com/thank-you) and click "Save". - ## Use the appended parameters
After payment, the customer is redirected to your page with query parameters appended: email, phone, first_name, last_name, dumpster_size, delivery_date, pickup_date, and order_number. Use them to personalize the page or send Enhanced Conversions data. - ## Alternative: fire the tag from the widget event
If the booking runs inside the widget on your own site, you can skip the redirect and fire your conversion tag from the dc:booking:complete event instead; the listener snippet is on the same "Advanced" tab. Both can be used together.
What happens next
- The benefits listed on the card: "Google Ads tracks real purchases (not just clicks)", Enhanced Conversions with name, email and phone sent automatically, "Works with both embedded widget and booking URL", and "If empty, the default confirmation screen is shown".
- With the embedded widget, the redirect happens immediately after the order is created; confirmation emails still go out in the background.
Troubleshooting
Customers see the Dumpster Controls confirmation screen instead of my page.
The URL field is empty or was not saved. When it is blank, the built-in "Payment Confirmed!" screen is shown.

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 2026-10-01, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
