Junk-Desk combines quoting, scheduling, dispatch, invoicing, rental contracts, customer management, and job cost tracking for junk removal and dumpster rental businesses. Its quote calculator builds load-based prices from disposal, fuel, labor, and overhead costs. The dispatch calendar handles jobs, dumpster drops, pickups, swaps, and crew assignments. Quotes can become invoices, and rental contracts can be sent for electronic signing. The site lists payments through Stripe, Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, and Cash App. Dumpster inventory can be marked available, out on rent, pickup due, or in maintenance. Job costs, expenses, cost breakdowns, and profit per yard are tracked. Plans are billed monthly: Basic costs $3.99 a month, Pro $6.99 a month, Business $12.99 a month, Team $15.99 a month, and Fleet $29.99 a month. Every plan covers both service types and includes a 10-day trial without a credit card. Afterward, unsubscribed accounts have trial access only. The software runs on Android, iOS, and the web.
