Curbside Rental Software for residential trash and recycling cart routes
Homes with carts on weekly routes: online signup inside the areas you draw, a flat monthly rate, resident self-service, area alerts and recurring billing. No monthly fee, no contract.
No monthly fee · no contract · typical setup takes about 20 minutes, plus Stripe's approval for card payments
Curbside service is hundreds of small promises: every cart emptied on its day, every week, and every bill on time. DumpsterVibes runs curbside as its own module for homes with carts on weekly routes. A resident enters their address. Inside one of the areas you draw, they get an instant price, save a card, sign and book cart delivery, and the home goes on that area's route. Outside every area, they join a waitlist and your office is told. The module is off until you switch it on, and it shares the login, the dispatch board and the driver app with your other services.
Each home has its own page from a link, where the resident can pause service for a vacation, ask for an extra pickup or report a missed one. Requests inside your rules are approved at once and the rest wait for your office. A missed-pickup report shows the resident the driver's time, GPS and photo first, and a return trip carries your go-back fee unless the miss was yours. It's built and run by a working hauler, so the proof of service sits on the resident's page instead of in a phone call.
Why a curbside route runs itself on DumpsterVibes
- Signup does the selling: an address inside your areas gets a price, saves a card, signs and books cart delivery, with no call back needed (when you turn online signup on).
- Residents help themselves: pause, extra pickup and missed-pickup reports from their own link, approved at once inside your rules.
- Proof before the argument: a miss report shows the driver's time, GPS and photo first.
- One message to a whole street: an alert to every home on a route, area or service day, following each home's opt-in and quiet hours.
- Billing that runs on its own: a flat monthly rate with your extra-cart price, autopay retried on your schedule, and a newly saved card tried at once.
Draw the areas, open signup, and let the route fill.
What you get
- Online signup with an instant price inside your drawn areas, and a waitlist outside them that tells your office
- Monthly pricing: a flat rate that includes one trash cart plus your extra-cart price, or a price for each cart size; a price you haven't entered is never quoted or charged
- Trash, plus recycling when you turn it on, each with its own carts, frequency and route, including every-other-week recycling
- The resident's own page: pause for a vacation, an extra pickup, a missed-pickup report, and pickup days they can add to Google or Apple calendar that update when a day moves
- Area alerts to every home on a route, area or service day, following each home's opt-in and quiet hours
- HOA and city contracts: bill one payer for a group of homes at a per-home price, or service homes for a city and send it a count and a service report
- Right-side-only routes for side-loaders, so each home is reached from its own side of the street
- Route mode in the driver app on the web and as a native iPhone app in beta on TestFlight (Android coming), with cart scanning at the stop
- Moves and sales: the seller is billed through closing and the buyer picks up the same carts and route, or service ends and the carts are collected, by your setting
- Autopay with a retry board: each failed bill, the bank's reason, the tries made and the next try's day; a hold can take its days off the bill, by your setting

Common questions
What does DumpsterVibes cost?
2.9% of each transaction until your month's platform fees reach $79/month in platform fees, then 0.69% on everything after, up to $199 a month in platform fees, however it's paid (card, ACH, Cash App, cash, check, pay on delivery or net terms). Your fee month resets at midnight on the 1st in your company's time zone. No monthly fee, no per-user or per-driver fee, no contract. Unlimited trucks, cans, and staff. On payments made through Stripe (card, bank transfer, Cash App) the fee comes out of the payment itself. On cash, check and other offline payments it's charged to your card or bank account on file once a month. A month with no jobs costs nothing. One exception: a donated rental past your monthly allowance carries the platform fee on what the rental would have cost (nothing once your month's fees reach the maximum). Your DV website is included, on its own free yourcompany.dumpstervibes.com address. A custom domain (like yourcompany.com) is not included: you buy it in your own name and we connect it.
Open this answerHow do I get paid?
Each payment is made on your own Stripe account and pays out to your bank on Stripe's standard schedule (typically about 2 business days). You pay Stripe's processing fee on your own account. DumpsterVibes takes only its small platform fee, as part of each payment — no invoices to chase. Fees on cash and check jobs are charged to the card or bank account you keep on file with us (Tools → Platform Fees → Billing), with that charge's processing added.
Open this answerHow does STOP/START work?
If a customer replies STOP, texting to them shuts off immediately and — by law — only they can turn it back on by replying START. The platform enforces this automatically, keeping you clear of TCPA trouble.
Open this answerHow does sales tax work?
Set your default rate, then override per zip for city/county differences. Flag tax-exempt customers (municipal, nonprofit) on their profile, and bookings your office or a driver enters for them carry no tax. The online checkout still charges tax, because a guest checkout can't prove who is booking — so book exempt customers from the office. Every booking snapshots its rate for clean records.
Open this answerWhat about cash or check jobs?
Record the check number if you like, so everything stays on the books. Mark a cash or check job paid in the office and the platform share accrues on your dashboard. That money never passed through Stripe, so it comes out of your next customer card and bank payments, never more than half of any one payment, with no processing added. If nothing has been collected from you for 30 days, what you owe is charged automatically, once, to the card or bank account you keep on file with DumpsterVibes (Tools → Platform Fees → Billing). The processing on that charge is yours and is added on top (2.9% + $0.30 on a card, 0.8% (at most $5.00) on a bank account); it doesn't count toward the monthly maximum. A balance under $5.00 isn't charged; it carries forward until it reaches $5.00. If that charge fails, it isn't retried on its own: DumpsterVibes contacts you. Want it settled sooner? Press Pay under Platform fees any time.
Open this answerHow do I cancel my account?
From Support → Cancel account (owners only). There's no contract. Requesting cancellation starts the clock right away: you keep full access for 30 days to export your records, then the account is suspended for 15 days, then its working data is wiped. Any platform fees you still owe are charged at once to your card or bank account on file (or your Stripe balance, if that's how you pay platform fees). Press "We're staying" during the export window to undo it; after that, support can still reinstate the account until the wipe. We'd love to hear why in the suggestion box first.
