Switching

Switching shouldn't be the hard part

Running on spreadsheets or another system? You can keep billing the old way while you move over.

  1. Step 1

    Set up with the guided steps

    Your business, service area, dumpster sizes or rate plans, trucks, drivers, routes, payments and website, in that order. You can stop and come back.

  2. Step 2

    Bring your trash customers over

    Import residential customers from a CSV file, up to 1,000 rows at a time. Rows that match a rate plan start as active subscriptions, so set those up first. Dumpster customers are added as they book.

  3. Step 3

    Connect payments and share your link

    Connect your own Stripe account (Square also works for dumpster booking checkout), then send customers to your new booking or sign-up page.

Questions

Frequently asked

Creating your account takes a few minutes, with no installation and no credit card. Before you take real customers, set your service area and pricing, connect your own Stripe or Square account, then share your signup or booking link. How long that takes depends on your setup.

Yes. Trash Tools runs residential trash and dumpster rentals in one system. On Starter you pick one: residential routes or dumpster rentals. Professional and Business include both, in the same dashboard.

No. You can add customers by hand, or import residential customers from a CSV file, up to 1,000 rows at a time. An imported customer whose row matches one of your rate plans starts as an active subscription, so set up your rate plans before you import. You can keep running your old billing while you move over.

Yes. You can create different rate plans per service type — trash, recycling, yard waste, or bulk pickup. Each plan can have its own pricing, cart sizes, and billing cycle.

Cards, and for invoices and autopay, bank transfer (ACH). Payments go through your own Stripe account (Square also works for dumpster booking checkout), so you pay that processor's rates. Stripe's standard US pricing lists ACH at 0.8% capped at $5 and cards at 2.9% + 30¢. Autopay charges when each invoice goes out.

Yes. The driver app downloads the whole route to the phone before the driver leaves the yard, so it keeps working with no cell signal. Each stop saves the GPS location and photos, and everything uploads automatically once signal comes back.

Add a plan to keep going. If you don't, your office dashboard locks to the Subscription page until you do. Your customer website, customer portal and driver app keep working, so your customers aren't affected.

Every plan includes a website for your customers at yourcompany.trash-tools.com. On a paid Business plan you can also point your own domain (e.g., summitwaste.com) at it.

You pay a flat monthly (or annual) price for your plan. Stops aren't capped or metered, and the truck counts on each plan are a guide, not a limit. Trash Tools doesn't add its own fee to your customers' payments; you pay only your processor's rates.

No contracts. Cancel any time from the Subscription page in your dashboard — plan changes, receipts, and cancellation are all self-serve. You get a 14-day free trial to make sure it's the right fit — no credit card required to start.
