Know which dumpster is ready to rent

Track each container's ID, size, status and drop-off location in your roll-off dumpster software. Check the box before you book it.

Container details

Name each box, such as D-001. Record its size—10, 15, 20, 30 or 40 yards—and add notes.

Availability and status

See Available, Reserved, In Transit, Rented or Out of Service. Flag a full box or take a damaged one out of service.

Placement map

Find the pin saved from the driver's phone at drop-off. It records placement, not continuous GPS movement.

Container history

Open a box's history to see its rentals and keep its record with the rest of your inventory.

When customers book online, availability is checked by size and rental dates. If a box is unavailable, they can see other sizes or the next available date.

Put deliveries and pickups beside your junk jobs

Your dispatch board keeps rental work and junk pickups together, with Delivery, Pickup and Swap jobs clearly marked.

Bill the rates agreed at booking

Set rental terms by size. Each booking keeps its agreed rates, including swap fees, same-day charges and discounts.

Bill the rates agreed at booking
Price Book settingWhat you control
Base rental priceSet your own price for each size.
Included daysStarts at 7 days; adjust to your terms.
Included weightStarts at 2 tons; adjust to your terms.
Overweight rateStarts at $50 per ton; set your own rate.
Extra-day rateSet the daily rate for each size.

These are adjustable starting values, not recommended market prices. Base rent is collected at booking when a saved card is available. Otherwise, payment follows through the portal or at delivery. Swaps have separate invoices. Pickup records and final scale weight drive extra charges in dumpster rental billing.

  • Saved rates stay with the booking.
  • Base rent is not charged twice.
  • Extra days and weight are billed separately.
  • Your sales tax is added automatically.

Follow each rental back to the yard

  1. Reserved

  3. On site

FAQ

How does it check dumpster availability?

It checks container size and rental dates. If a box is unavailable, customers can see another size or the next available date. Requests that need your review appear as Pending Approval.

Can customers rent a dumpster by phone?

Yes. The AI agent checks container availability and quotes your set rental prices during its coverage hours. It can also take swap and pickup requests.

Can I see where each box was dropped?

Yes. The driver saves a photo and location at delivery. The map pin records where the box was placed; it is not a live GPS tracker attached to the container.

How are extra days and overweight charges billed?

The rental keeps the terms agreed at booking. Extra days and weight create additional charges from pickup and dump records. Any remaining balance is charged to the saved card or left on an invoice.

Can customers extend a rental?

Yes. Customers can add 1⁠–⁠14 days in the portal and see the total before confirming. The pickup date moves, an invoice is created and the saved card is charged.

What is dumpster rental software?

It keeps container inventory, rental dates, deliveries, swaps, pickups and billing in one place. ScaleYourJunk connects those records with your office, drivers and customers.

Can I run junk removal and rentals together?

Yes. Junk jobs and rental work share your schedule and dispatch board. Customers can book both services together, and each rental keeps its own dates, container and charges.
