Dumpster rental
in Lynwood.

In Lynwood you do not shop around for a roll-off: the City's exclusive solid-waste franchise covers temporary hauling, and since May 1, 2026 that franchise hauler is WM. Book a free five-item bulky pickup first for furniture and appliances; for remodel or cleanout debris, order the box from WM, keep it on the driveway, and talk to Public Works before anything goes in the street.

The first decision in Lynwood

Check the city boundary first.

There is one lawful provider at a Lynwood house, so the real choices are size and method: a 3-yard temporary bin or a 10- to 40-yard roll-off from WM, the free bulky pickup for a few large items, or, on a permitted job, a Public Works-approved self-haul to a certified recycler. Neither WM nor the City publishes Lynwood roll-off prices, so get the rental days, weight terms and any demurrage charge in writing.

Your local checklist

Check that your parcel is inside the City of Lynwood rather than South Gate, Downey, Paramount, Compton or an unincorporated County pocket, because the WM franchise rule applies only within City limits.
Call WM at (310) 366-7600 for the box and decline outside dumpster companies or brokers; ask for the size, rental days, weight terms and any demurrage charge in writing, since an older City flyer still names Waste Resources.
If your remodel has a building permit, file the Waste Management Plan with Public Works at 11750 Alameda St. and keep every WM receipt; if the box cannot fit on the driveway, contact pwdpermits@lynwoodca.gov before delivery.

Published details, side by side

Listings are an editorial starting point, not a complete market ranking. Supplier-published amounts are not Dumpsterly quotes. Confirm address eligibility, material acceptance, dates and the full delivered total.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

WM (City of Lynwood franchised hauler since May 1, 2026; formerly Waste Resources)

Published sizes: The City-posted franchise flyer lists one-time or temporary bins of 3 cubic yards and roll-offs of 10, 15, 25 and 40 cubic yards; that flyer predates WM's takeover, so confirm the sizes WM now offers in Lynwood.
Rental & weight terms: The flyer says temporary 3-yard bin pricing depends on the number of pickups per week, and roll-off pricing includes service and the dump fee and may include demurrage charges for bins not serviced regularly; quoted prices include City taxes and fees. Rental days, included weight and overage charges are not published. WM's 2026 Lynwood business guide says roll-off box service is available for temporary uses such as construction or demolition projects.
Price basis: Not published; request a written quote that states the rental days, any weight limit, the overage charge and any daily or demurrage charge.

The City's Construction and Demolition page says Lynwood has an exclusive franchise agreement for all solid waste generated within City limits, and its posted flyer says residents and contractors renting temporary hauling must use the franchise hauler, with one exception: a prime general contractor's own bin hauled by its own employees. The City's Waste Management page and WM's Lynwood pages say the City approved WM to replace Waste Resources. WM's Lynwood pages give customer service at (310) 366-7600 (Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to noon) and a payment address of P.O. Box 541008, Los Angeles; no local street address is published.

Keep the box on your driveway; street placement goes through a Public Works permit

We found no Lynwood permit written specifically for a roll-off parked on the street. The nearest rule is the Public Works Engineering Division's general permit for work in the public right-of-way: it asks for a City business license, a contractor's state license, a liability certificate naming the City as additional insured and a non-refundable $54.43 filing fee, takes applications at the Public Works Yard Monday to Thursday, limits work to 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. with no weekend work, may require a deposit, bars closing any street without the City Engineer's permission and 24 hours' notice to fire, sheriff and traffic, and expires six months after issue. Those terms are written for contractors working in the street, so ask Public Works (310-603-0220 ext. 801, pwdpermits@lynwoodca.gov) before a box goes on the street, sidewalk or parkway. A box on your own driveway avoids all of this; on a narrow lot, measure the driveway length and gate width first, put boards under the rails and keep the sidewalk clear.

What matters locally

Free bulky-item pickups of up to five items through WM

WM's 2026 Lynwood residential guide, posted on the City's website, says homes with City cart service can book bulky-item pickups of up to five items each at no extra charge, with more items collected for a fee. Call WM Customer Service at (310) 366-7600 at least 48 hours before your service day. Furniture, bagged mattresses, appliances, TVs and computers, tree branches and scrap wood are accepted; loose trash, household hazardous waste, spas, pianos, camper shells and anything that takes more than two people to lift are not. Paint, oil, batteries and fluorescent bulbs go to a Los Angeles County household hazardous waste event instead (the guide points to 888cleanla.com). An older City FAQ still lists the former Waste Resources bulky line, 888-467-7600; use the WM number. If your job is a sofa, a mattress and a washer, a free pickup may make a box unnecessary.

Permitted remodels file a Waste Management Plan and must recycle 65%

Lynwood's Public Works C&D application says all commercial and some residential construction, demolition or remodeling projects must recycle or reuse at least 65% of the debris leaving the site. After applying for the building permit you file a Waste Management Plan with the Public Works Engineering Division at the Public Works Yard, 11750 Alameda St. (counter hours are limited to set morning and afternoon windows; call 310-603-0220). The form lets you tick that you will use the franchise hauler's roll-off bins for all materials, which skips the tonnage worksheet, or ask to self-haul to a certified recycling facility, which needs Public Works approval and an estimate of tonnage. A refundable recycling deposit may apply, refunded in proportion to the diversion you actually achieve, and the City will not schedule your final inspection until the receipts are in.

Questions about renting in Lynwood.

Can I rent a roll-off from any dumpster company for my Lynwood house?

No. Lynwood's Construction and Demolition page says the City has an exclusive franchise agreement to collect all solid waste generated within City limits, and the City-posted franchise flyer says contractors, business owners and residents who rent or contract for temporary hauling must hire the franchise hauler. The only exception it lists is a prime general contractor that owns its own bin and hauls with its own employees. The City has since approved WM to replace Waste Resources as that hauler, so order the box from WM.

Do I need a City permit to put the bin in front of my Lynwood house?

Not if it stays on your own driveway. For the street, sidewalk or parkway we found no dumpster-specific permit, only the Public Works Engineering Division's general right-of-way permit, which carries a $54.43 filing fee, requires a City business license, a contractor's license and insurance naming the City, and may require a deposit. Call Public Works at 310-603-0220 ext. 801 or email pwdpermits@lynwoodca.gov to ask how they handle a bin before you schedule delivery.
