Software Integration Details & InquiryYour Trucks Are Tracked. What About the Dumpsters?
Containers get moved, misplaced, left at the wrong site, or kept longer than expected. Without reliable location and utilization data, operators are forced to rely on spreadsheets, phone calls, driver memory, and manual yard checks.
Missing Containers
Thousands of dollars in steel lost because a customer or third party moved it.
Unauthorized Movement
Bins being shifted between sites without dispatch knowing.
Poor Utilization
Dumpsters sitting idle at completed jobsites while new orders are turned away.
Manual Inventory
Paying drivers to drive through yards just to count what's available.
Long-Life GPS Tracking for Dumpsters and Containers.
BinFound uses rugged, battery-powered trackers designed for long-term asset tracking. Install the device, assign it to a container, and manage the asset through a secure tracking platform.
No monthly fees. No contracts.
Simple annual renewal after the included service period.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the battery last on the dumpster trackers?
Depending on the reporting frequency, our rugged asset trackers can last up to 5 years on a single set of internal batteries. They are designed for low-maintenance, long-term deployment.
Are there really no monthly fees?
Correct. We include the tracking service period upfront with the hardware purchase. After the initial term, there is a simple annual renewal. No surprise monthly bills, no hidden fees.
Can I get alerted if a dumpster is moved without authorization?
Yes. You can set up geofences (virtual perimeters) around yards or customer sites. If an asset moves outside that boundary, the system will send an immediate alert via email or SMS.
Do you only track dumpsters?
No. While BinFound specializes in portable assets like roll-offs and compactors, we provide tracking for the entire waste operation, including fleet vehicles, dispatch trucks, trailers, and heavy equipment.
Can I see my vehicles and my dumpsters on the same map?
Yes. All your tracked assets—whether they are battery-powered dumpster trackers or hardwired truck trackers—report into a single, unified software platform.
Are reports generated automatically?
Yes. You can schedule utilization, inventory, and movement reports to be emailed to dispatch or management daily, weekly, or monthly.
Do you support large fleets?
Absolutely. We work with operations ranging from a few dozen containers to municipal fleets with thousands of assets. Our bulk pricing reflects the scale of your deployment.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the type of trackers needed (battery vs. hardwired) and the total volume of assets. Fill out our bulk quote form, and we will provide custom pricing tailored to your specific operation.
Can BinFound integrate with our existing software?
BinFound offers an open API for compatible software integrations. Feasibility depends on the tracking device’s capabilities and the data available through the API. BinFound provides API access and technical guidance; the software partner builds and maintains the integration.
