How to start your website briefing with Max in Dumpster Controls

Max is the website assistant. A confirmation dialog explains the deal, then the chat opens right inside the app and a backup link lands in your email.

Before you start

You are signed in and clicked "Start my briefing with Max" on the "Get a Website" page.

## Read the confirmation dialog
A dialog titled "You're a few minutes from your new website" opens. It explains that you will answer a few quick questions from Max and share your logo and a couple of photos, and that this is a done-for-you, paid service: specialists review everything and send a formal quote, with no obligation until you approve. Three chips set expectations: "A few minutes", "Saved automatically", and "Formal quote at the end".
## Confirm
Click "Yes, I'm ready, start with Max" (the button reads "Starting…" while it works). Choose "Maybe later" to close without starting.
## Meet Max
The chat opens in a full-height panel. Max greets you ("Hi! I'm Max 👋"), already knows your company from your account, and starts the briefing. The header shows "Dumpster Controls · Website assistant" with the chips "A few minutes" and "Auto-saved".
## Check your inbox
A toast confirms "We also emailed you this link so you can finish anytime". The email contains a "Start with Max →" button with your personal briefing link, so you can continue from any device.

What happens next

Your briefing is prefilled with what your account already knows (company name, city and state, phone, brand colors, dumpster sizes and prices), so Max skips questions you have already answered elsewhere.
Starting again later reuses your open briefing instead of creating a duplicate.

Troubleshooting

I got "Couldn't start right now. Please try again."

A temporary error stopped the briefing from being created. Wait a moment and click "Start my briefing with Max" again.

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 2026-10-23, is already loaded, so disposal sites do not need to be typed in. Step-by-step guides are at dumpstercontrols.io/help.
