For owners and managers of apartment communities and commercial properties
They leave a couch. You get a deposit. We put the camera, the plate reader and the price sign up at our own cost, and when someone pays to leave their mattress, half of every dollar collected goes to you.
Install costs you nothing. Billing by mail depends on your state's law; we check before it goes live. Every sample on this page is marked sample.

What happens at the dumpster before and after DumperCash goes up.
The cost line
Every extra haul, bulk pickup and overflow fee lands on your books whether or not anyone pays you back. DumperCash adds a credit side.
| Line | Today | With DumperCash |
|---|---|---|
| The equipment | You would buy it, hang it and keep it running. | We install it at our cost and keep it running. |
| When a stranger leaves a couch | You pay for the haul. Nobody pays you. | The person who left it pays a posted price. You get half. |
| Who looks at the footage | Your manager, on a phone, on their own time. | A person at DumperCash reviews every clip before any invoice goes out. |
| Your residents | Argued with at the office. | Kept off the billing list by plate, before the first day. |
How it works
| No. | Entry | What happens | Cost to you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | We install, you sign the site map | A solar or hard-wired camera aimed at the enclosure, a plate reader at the approach, and large signs with the price list. Our crew, our equipment, our cost. | $0 |
| 02 | Prices go up on the sign | Mattress, furniture piece, tire, debris by the cubic yard. Close to real disposal cost. The sign says what leaving items means and that non-resident items are billed to the vehicle's registered owner. | $0 |
| 03 | Pay now, or get an invoice | A QR code on the sign lets anyone pay on the spot at a lower price, with their consent recorded. If they don't, the event goes to review. | $0 |
| 04 | A person checks every clip | Residents and tenants are filtered out by the allow-list first. A reviewer then checks each remaining clip. No clip, no invoice. Where your state allows it, the invoice goes out by mail through a licensed billing partner. | $0 |
| 05 | Half of what comes in is yours | Money actually collected is split 50/50. A deposit and a monthly statement for your property arrive by the 15th of the next month. | You receive 50% |
What lands on your desk
Each month a line goes into your property's passbook: how many people dropped off, how many items, what was collected, your 50% and the running balance. Everything below is a made-up community, marked sample.

Revenue share and terms
No fee from you, no minimums, no equipment charge. These are the terms we would want to read.
Residents and tenants
Before the first day, your manager sends the plate list. Those plates are excluded from billing. They are never reviewed for an invoice because they never become a billable event.
House rules
A service fee and an invoice from a private company. We don't issue anything on behalf of a government, and we don't speak for one.
The camera records pictures, never sound.
No automatic invoices. Ever.
Every invoice carries both forms. A dispute pauses the invoice while we look.
Then deleted. Clips attached to an open invoice or a packet you requested are kept until that closes.
Used for the allow-list and for billing the event it was captured in. Nothing else.
If private billing from owner lookups is not allowed in your state, the property runs on pay-now and evidence packets only.
Same cameras, same signs, same 50% on every dollar paid on the spot.
The invoice lists our number. Your community manager is not the help desk.
Questions
Anything not answered here, ask on the site walk.
It depends on state law. Some states allow a private company to look up the registered owner of a vehicle and bill them by mail; some don't. We check your property's state before billing by mail goes live. If it isn't allowed, we run the property in pay-now and evidence-only mode, and tell you so before you sign.
Not if the allow-list is current. Residents' and tenants' plates are excluded before anything reaches a reviewer. Your manager can add and remove plates, and add guest passes, any time. A resident who is invoiced anyway can use the "I wasn't driving" form or dispute it, and the invoice is cancelled and comes out of that month's statement.
We do, at our cost. Camera, plate reader and signs. Your maintenance supervisor does not need to touch any of it, and a repair is our problem, not a work order on your list.
50% of money actually collected, deposited monthly by the 15th of the following month. Every property gets its own statement showing events, items, amounts collected, refunds, our fees and your share.
The invoice pauses and a person looks at the clip again. If it was wrong, it is cancelled. If it stands, we send the evidence and the next step to the person who disputed. You are not asked to referee.
12 months, then month to month. After the first 12 months you can cancel with 30 days written notice and we remove the equipment at our cost.
Then nothing is collected, and nothing is owed. There is no monthly fee, no minimum and no equipment charge. We carry that risk, not you.
Large signs with the price list, a QR code, and a line that says residents and tenants are not billed. The camera is aimed at the enclosure and its approach, not at doors or windows, and records video only.
Yes. Each billable event produces an evidence packet: clip, stills, plate, time and items. Use it however your property sees fit. We don't act for the police and they don't act for us.
Next step
We walk the enclosure, look at where cars come in, and tell you if it makes sense. It might not, and we'll say so. We also check your state before anything goes live.
