Hometown's Booked Jobs feature allows new customers to book your dumpsters online anytime. The best part? It's completely FREE to get setup and FREE to get booked on Hometown.
You can also choose to become a paid advertising partner on Hometown, which gives you preferred access to the best leads, more promotion of your company to new customers, and more booked jobs.
We offer 4 different plans:
- Basic Pro
- Silver Partner

Basic Pro is our FREE plan. It allows you to receive booked jobs from Hometown at no cost to you.
Silver, Gold, and Platinum Partner plans are paid advertising plans that give your company increased promotion across Hometown, preferred access to new customer opportunities, and more booked jobs.
The cost for Silver, Gold, and Platinum Partner plans depends on the services you offer as well as your service area. To learn more about plan costs in your area, reach out to us today at support@hometownlocal.com or give us a call at (877) 994-6645, Ext. 2.
You can set your promotion level based on your needs and your advertising budget. Higher budget plans get greater promotion and more bookings than lower budget plans.
If you're new to Hometown, here's how it works:
Hometown's content team creates and updates your company profile.
With Bookable, Hometown’s easy-to-use booking engine, you can automate your quote and booking process, delivering an accurate quote to every customer, every time. Visit bookable.com to get set up for online booking for free. Once logged in, you can add your dumpsters and your pricing information to get started.
Once online booking is enabled, customers in your area can book your dumpsters instantly through Hometown or request your availability to have a dumpster delivered on a specific day that works for them. Hometown notifies you via SMS and/or email of customer requests from your area. Paid advertisers have the advantage of getting earlier access and a greater share of these customer requests.
When you receive a booking or availability request from a customer in your area, you have the option to accept or decline it, leaving you in full control of your schedule at all times. If a job doesn't work for you for any reason, just decline it. If the booked job does work for you, you can accept the job, and Hometown will immediately collect payment from the customer and notify the customer that your company accepted the booking and will deliver on the delivery date.
Hometown will also send you all of the customer and job details so you can add it to your schedule and communicate directly with the customer as needed. We ask the customer to communicate directly with you going forward on their dumpster service as well.
From there, simply deliver the dumpster on the scheduled delivery date, and Hometown pays you out very quickly, releasing the funds from the job one day after delivery. Payment typically lands in your bank within two business days.
