  1. Open the Containers tab and replace the sample rows with your own — one row per entry. Formulas fill in automatically for new rows.
  2. Pickup due turns red when a can is still on site past the rental period: call to extend or schedule pickup.
  3. Enter scale tons after the dump run; Overage charges $75 per ton over the included weight (edit the rate to yours).
  4. Using Google Sheets? Upload the file to Google Drive, then open it with Google Sheets (or File → Import in an open sheet). Formulas, dropdowns and highlights carry over.

The file opens locally on your device — nothing is uploaded, and you own the copy outright.
