QuickBooks Integration · updated 2026-08-22

What syncs to QuickBooks and how it looks in your books

The integration mirrors your customer-facing money into QuickBooks: same totals, clear document numbers, no duplicates.

Before you start

  • QuickBooks connected (green badge in Account, QuickBooks tab)
  1. ## Customers
    Each Dumpster Controls customer becomes a QuickBooks customer with name, email, phone and billing address. Before creating, the integration searches your QuickBooks for an existing customer with the same email (then the same name) and links to it instead of creating a duplicate.
  2. ## Invoices
    Each invoice becomes a QuickBooks invoice with document number DC- plus your invoice number. Line items match your invoice; fuel surcharge and card processing fee appear as their own lines when present; sales tax is added as an explicit Sales tax line so the QuickBooks total is identical to what your customer saw.
  3. ## Payments
    When a payment completes, QuickBooks records a payment against the linked invoice (or as a customer payment if there is no invoice). The reference number and method travel in the payment note.
  4. ## Refunds
    Refunds appear in QuickBooks as credit memos for the refunded amount, with a note pointing to the Dumpster Controls record. Your accountant applies the credit as appropriate; the actual money movement already happened through your processor.
  5. ## The service item
    Lines are booked under a QuickBooks service item named Dumpster Controls Services, created automatically under your first income account. Your accountant can re-categorize in QuickBooks at any time; the integration will keep using the same item.

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.
