How to add multiple dumpsters to one order in Dumpster Controls

The "Qty:" stepper on the New Order page books several units of the same size in one shot, with one combined invoice.

  1. ## Raise the quantity
    In the "1. Dumpster Rental" header, use the "Qty:" plus and minus stepper. A notice explains the behavior, for example: "3 units will be billed under 1 combined invoice. Each will be created as a separate order for the drivers."
  2. ## Watch availability
    For delivery orders, the summary warns "Not enough units available" ("You requested {n} but only {m} are available for this size.") and blocks submission until the quantity fits your free inventory.
  3. ## Review the combined summary
    The "Invoice Summary" shows per-unit math, for example "Subtotal (3×$400.00)", and multiplies tax and fuel accordingly.
  4. ## Submit as usual
    Click "Create Delivery Order" and confirm the preview. The toast reads like "3 orders created (1041, 1042, 1043)" with the shared invoice number.

What happens next

  • Delivery orders create one order (and one set of driver tasks) per unit, all linked to a single shared invoice. In Order History these rows carry a chip like "Shared invoice · 3 dumpsters"; paying the invoice settles all of them at once.
  • Invoice-only orders stay consolidated as one order. Estimates quote the units together in one estimate.

Troubleshooting

A sibling order shows $0 in Order History.

Grouped invoice children are zeroed on purpose; the chip reads "Paid via #{order}" pointing at the primary order that carries the invoice total.

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.
