Dumpster rental glossary

: Roll-off container

An open-top waste container, usually 10 to 40 cubic yards, moved by a roll-off truck with a hook or cable hoist.
: Turn rate

How many times one dumpster is delivered, filled, hauled and emptied in a period. A higher turn rate means the container earns more.
: Dispatch board

The screen where the owner assigns delivery, swap and pickup tasks to drivers, one lane per driver, for the day.
: Swap

The driver picks up the full container and leaves an empty one in the same visit, so the customer keeps working.
: Haul-off

Picking up a full dumpster from the job site and taking it to a landfill or transfer station.
: Tipping fee

What the landfill or transfer station charges to accept the load, per ton or per cubic yard.
: Overage fee

The extra charge when the load weighs more than the tons included in the rental price.
: Service area

The ZIP codes or counties where the company delivers. Online booking checks the address against it before showing prices.
: Fleet utilization

The share of the company's containers that are on a customer site right now, instead of sitting in the yard.
: Dumpster Network Hub

The marketplace inside Dumpster Controls where a company posts an order it cannot serve and another verified company takes it, with no hub fee.

Then open the one-to-one page for the product you use today. Dumpster Controls is free for any fleet size; the only cost on the free plan is the card fee when a customer pays by card.

Where do I learn how the app itself works?
