Dumpster rental
in Lodi.

In Lodi the job type picks the hauler. A garage or estate cleanout box comes from WM, the City's exclusive franchisee, at the City-set temporary roll-off rate plus a per-ton charge. A remodel or demolition box can also come from a hauler on the City's permitted list, such as Cal-Waste in Galt. Try Dollar Dump Days or the North County Landfill for one-off loads, and keep any box on your driveway unless Public Works issues an encroachment permit.

The first decision in Lodi

Start with an eligible hauler.

WM is the only one with a published Lodi price: the City's schedule sets $301.39 per box plus $53.45 per ton, which makes heavy loads like concrete or roofing climb quickly, and WM lists 20- to 40-yard sizes. Cal-Waste offers a wider size range starting at 10 yards and a free on-site quote but no published prices, and the City list covers it for construction and demolition debris rather than household junk. Compare total cost at your expected tonnage, not the box fee alone.

Your local checklist

Confirm your parcel is inside Lodi City limits and not in Woodbridge, Acampo or another unincorporated San Joaquin County area with a Lodi mailing address, because the City's WM franchise and hauler list apply only inside the City.
Match the hauler to the debris: order household cleanout boxes from WM (209-369-8274) and, for remodel or demolition debris, use only a company named on the City's Permitted Industrial Haulers list; get the box fee, per-ton charge and rental days in writing.
If the box cannot fit on your driveway, apply for a Public Works encroachment permit at 221 W. Pine Street (209-333-6706) before delivery, and ask how long a box may stay on the street.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

WM (Waste Management), City of Lodi exclusive franchised hauler

Published sizes: WM's Lodi dumpster page lists 20-, 30- and 40-yard temporary roll-offs (described as holding about 8, 14 and 16 pickup-truck loads).
Rental & weight terms: WM's page says daily, weekly and monthly rentals are available and that weight allowances vary; it does not publish a rental period or included tonnage. The City's 10-to-50-yard rate schedule (effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027) sets a 'one-time temporary user' roll-off charge of $301.39 per box for drop-off and pick-up plus a processing charge of $53.45 per ton disposed. Delivery or rental-day charges beyond that are not shown.
Price basis: City-set rate: $301.39 per box (drop-off and pick-up) plus $53.45 per ton disposed. Total depends on weight; ask WM for a written quote that states the rental days and any daily fee.

The City's Solid Waste & Recycling page says Lodi has an exclusive franchise agreement with WM and lists WM at 1333 E. Turner Road, Lodi, (209) 369-8274; WM is also first on the City's Permitted Industrial Haulers list. WM's Lodi page gives 855-548-7013 for rentals and says City or county permit costs are usually not included.

02 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

Cal-Waste Recovery Systems

Published sizes: Debris boxes from 10 to 40 cubic yards (the page shows 10, 20, 25, 30 and 40).
Rental & weight terms: Rental period, included weight and overage charges are not published; the company offers a free on-site quote through its estimate form.
Price basis: Not published; request a written quote that states the rental days, the weight allowance, the overage charge and any daily fee.

Listed on the City's Permitted Industrial Haulers sheet as California Waste Recovery Systems, (209) 369-6887, under the City's statement that listed haulers can be hired to transport construction and demolition debris within Lodi. Its debris-box page names San Joaquin County among its service counties (not Lodi by name) and gives 175 Enterprise Court, Ste. A, Galt, CA 95632 with the same (209) 369-6887 number. Use it for remodel or demolition debris; for a household cleanout box, the City's franchise points to WM.

Keep the box on your driveway; anything on City sidewalk or street needs a Public Works encroachment permit

Lodi Public Works says anyone conducting any activity within, under or over the City's right-of-way needs an encroachment permit, and its non-construction permit explicitly covers items placed on the sidewalk; the posted non-construction fee is $61 (non-refundable), applications are taken at 221 W. Pine Street, Monday through Thursday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and fee questions go to 209-333-6706. We did not find a Lodi permit written specifically for a roll-off or debris box: the non-construction application form is drafted for street closures and events and asks for insurance and a homeowner's policy, so call Public Works before a box goes on the street, sidewalk or parkway and ask what it requires and how many days it allows. Book only the days the job needs and have the hauler pull the box promptly. Most Lodi tract homes have a driveway that takes a 10- or 20-yard box; lay boards under the rails and keep the sidewalk clear.

What matters locally

Dollar Dump Days and a free spring curbside cleanup through WM

The City's Special Collection Events page describes standing yearly programs run by WM for City customers. Dollar Dump Days, usually between mid-March and mid-April, let a single-family customer bring up to two cubic yards for one dollar with a voucher mailed beforehand; refrigerators and air conditioners that still hold CFCs are not accepted. The yearly curbside cleanup, usually in April, takes extra refuse equal to about three 64-gallon carts at no charge, if it is bagged, bundled or boxed under 50 pounds per container (no dirt, concrete or liquids). WM's spring household hazardous waste event and the e-waste days at the Lodi transfer station are free to Lodi residents. If your timing lines up, these can shrink or replace a box.

San Joaquin County's North County Landfill is on Harney Lane east of town

The County-run North County Recycling Center and Sanitary Landfill at 17720 E. Harney Lane (east of Jack Tone Road) is open every day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. except four major holidays, and the County says the closing time is strictly enforced. Its price sheet effective January 1, 2026 accepts household and construction/demolition waste, charges $60.93 per ton with a $32.50 minimum for weighed loads (pickups with an 8-foot bed: $32.50 at or below cab level, $44.50 above), takes cards or business checks but no cash, and doubles the fee for untarped loads. County residents may drop up to ten mattresses, two appliances and four car tires per trip at no charge. Hauling a trailer here yourself is often cheaper than a box for one heavy load.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Lodi.

Do I have to use WM for a dumpster at my Lodi house?

For household trash and cleanout debris, yes in practice: the City says it has an exclusive franchise agreement with WM, and its industrial hauler permit terms say other haulers' permits do not extend to 10- to 50-yard residential and commercial roll-off bins. Construction and demolition debris is different: the City's Permitted Industrial Haulers list says the haulers on it can be hired to transport C&D debris within City limits. That list currently names WM, California Waste Recovery Systems, Precizion Recycling and Disposal, Lenzi Hauling and Republic Services' Delta Container. If you are unsure which category your project falls into, ask the City's solid waste staff at solidwaste@lodi.gov before booking.

What does a WM roll-off cost in Lodi?

The City sets it. The 10-to-50-yard rate schedule in effect from April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027 charges a one-time temporary user $301.39 per box for drop-off and pick-up plus $53.45 for each ton disposed. So a box that comes back at two tons would run about $408 before any extra charges. WM's own Lodi page does not publish a rental period or weight allowance, and it notes that City permit costs are usually not included, so ask WM to confirm the rental days and any daily fee in writing.
