# How to import your QuickBooks customers into Dumpster Controls

One click brings your whole QuickBooks customer base into Dumpster Controls, with names, emails, phones and addresses, so you can create invoices for them in seconds. No spreadsheets, no re-typing.

## Before you start

- QuickBooks connected (Account, QuickBooks tab)
- Admin or owner role

1. ## Start the import (three places, same one click)
  Right after connecting, Dumpster Controls asks what you want to import; choose Import my customers. You can also start it anytime from the Customers page (Import from QuickBooks button), the Finances page, or the QuickBooks tab in Account.
2. ## What gets imported
  Active QuickBooks customers with their display name, first and last name, company name, email, phone and billing address. Everything lands in your Customers list ready to receive estimates and invoices.
3. ## No duplicates, ever
  The import matches by email: a QuickBooks customer whose email already exists in Dumpster Controls is linked to your existing record instead of creating a copy. Customers already linked by a previous import or by the export sync are skipped. Running the import twice is safe; it only picks up what is new.
4. ## Watch it arrive
  The import runs in the background through the same sync engine as everything else: within a couple of minutes your customers appear in the Customers page, and the operation shows in the QuickBooks sync log. Large customer bases import in batches.
5. ## Then invoice in seconds
  Imported customers behave exactly like customers you created by hand: pick one on New Order or on an invoice and all the contact data is already filled. That is the point of the import: your first invoice to an old customer takes seconds, not minutes of typing.

## 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.
