How to search and filter Order History in Dumpster Controls

Order History ("Track every rental, payment, overweight charge and order activity in one place.") gets big fast. Its KPI cards, filters, and search cut it down to what you need.

## Open "Order History"
Click "Order History" in the sidebar. The list defaults to "All Time", newest first.
## Click a KPI card to filter
The card strip shows "Total Orders", "Paid", "Unpaid" (with the dollar total and a hover "Unpaid breakdown" of "Base price", "Overweight", "Extra charges", and "Total due"), "Completed", "Junk Removal", "Abandoned", "Declined", and "Overweight". Clicking a card filters the table; clicking it again clears the filter. The "Unpaid" card counts exactly the orders the "Unpaid" filter lists, including commercial account orders that are not on a statement yet and paid orders that still have an extra charge open.
## Search anything
The box "Search orders, customers, companies..." matches order number, customer, company, address, and invoice number.
## Combine dropdown filters
Status ("All Statuses", "Paid", "Unpaid", "Abandoned", "Declined", "Overweight"), sort ("Newest first", "Oldest first", "Highest value", "Lowest value"), and period ("All Time", "This Week", "Last Week", "This Month", "Last Month", "This Year", "Custom range"). "Custom range" opens a two-month calendar with "Clear" and "Done".
## Page through results
Use "Rows per page" (10, 25, or 50) and the "Previous" and "Next" buttons. A badge next to the filters counts the matching orders, and "Clear Filters" resets everything.

What happens next

The KPI numbers follow the selected date range (not the search). For an order whose service is paid but has an extra charge open, "Unpaid" adds only the open extra.
Canceled orders are hidden from the default view; they only appear under the "Declined" filter.

Troubleshooting

I see "No rental records found".

"Try adjusting your filters or date range." and click "Reset Filters".

The Overweight card count looks higher than expected.

It counts every order that exceeded its included weight in the period, including ones already billed or paid.

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.
