in California.

For a cleanout at an Alameda home, order the box from ACI, the City's exclusive franchised hauler, whose posted 2026-27 rates start at $807.30 per pull for a 10-yard garbage box plus delivery. If you hold a City building permit, a hauler on the City's permitted C&D list, such as Bee Green, can also take the construction debris. Either way the box must sit on your own property, because Public Works does not permit debris bins in the street.

In Aliso Viejo the choice is not which company but which CR&R container and where it can sit. The City allows only CR&R bins and no dumpsters on public streets, so first confirm with your HOA that the driveway or a guest space can take a box. A few bulky items can go on a CR&R on-call pickup; a small cleanout may fit a 3-yard clean-up bin at the City weekly rate; a remodel needs a CR&R roll-off quote and, if permitted, the City's C&D deposit paperwork.

In Apple Valley the box comes from Burrtec, the hauler the Town franchises and bills for. Use one of the four free bulky pickups for furniture and appliances first; for a cleanout or remodel, order a Burrtec temporary roll-off at the Town-approved price, keep it on your own lot, and get the rental days and weight allowance in writing.

Baldwin Park leaves you no choice of dumpster company: the City's exclusive franchise makes WM the only hauler and obliges it to rent temporary bins and roll-offs to homes. Start with WM's free bulky pickups for furniture and appliances, use a 3-yard temporary bin for a small cleanout, and order a WM roll-off for remodel debris, kept on the driveway and booked for no longer than the job needs.

In Beaumont you do not shop between dumpster companies: the City says Waste Management is its one hauler and no others are authorized, and the City's rate sheet caps WM's temporary roll-off at $688.06 with 4 tons included. Use the two free WM bulky pickups for furniture, order a WM box for remodel or roofing debris, keep it on the driveway, and plan the job inside the code's 30-consecutive-day limit for a visible box.

In Bellflower the hauler is already chosen: the City's exclusive franchise sends every stationed bin to CR&R. Your real decisions are whether free unlimited bulky pickups make a box unnecessary, which CR&R size fits, and whether the box can stay on your lot or needs the 14-day Public Works street permit. Check CR&R's quote against the City's capped haul and per-ton rates.

In Buena Park the choice is which Park Disposal box, not which company: the City's permit page says dumpsters must come from Park Disposal (EDCO), its franchised hauler. Use the three free six-item bulky pickups for furniture and appliances first; for remodel or cleanout debris, order a 3-yard bin or a 10- or 40-yard roll-off from EDCO, set it on the driveway, and get the $170 encroachment permit before any box goes in the street.

At a Camarillo house the question is which Harrison box, not which company: the City's franchise gives E.J. Harrison & Sons the exclusive right to collect residential solid waste, including construction debris, and the roll-off carve-out covers only commercial premises. Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture first; for a remodel or cleanout, order a Harrison box at the City-set rates, keep it on the driveway, and call Public Works before anything goes in the street.

Inside Carlsbad, book a roll-off or temporary C&D bin from Republic Services, the City's franchised hauler; other dumpster companies are not the City's provider, and Republic's C&D guide warns of fines for using a non-franchise hauler. Use the three free bulky pickups for furniture, or haul debris yourself to Palomar Transfer Station. Keep the box on your driveway unless you have a City right-of-way permit.

In Carson, start with the City's franchised hauler, WM, which took over from Waste Resources on May 1, 2026. The City posts maximum temporary roll-off rates for that franchise, so you can check a quote against them. Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture and appliances, keep a remodel box on the driveway, and get a Trash Bin/Container permit from Engineering before a box goes in the street.

Inside Chino city limits, order a debris box from WM, the City's franchise hauler; the City's construction forms say builders must use WM and its rate resolution prices WM's roll-offs. Use the three free six-item bulk pickups first for furniture, pick the 3-yard bin for small jobs, and keep any roll-off on the driveway, since a street placement falls under the City's general encroachment permit.

In Chula Vista, call Republic Services first: it holds the City's solid waste franchise and is the company the City's construction-debris process points residents to for containers. For a smaller cleanout, two free Otay Landfill passes a year may be enough. Confirm with the City before hiring any other roll-off company.

Citrus Heights homes rent debris boxes from any hauler holding a City temporary debris-box franchise; Republic's household-cart contract does not cover roll-offs. GreenWaste of Sacramento and Waste Removal & Recycling are both on the City's franchised list and name Citrus Heights. Use Neighborhood Clean-Up for furniture and yard piles, keep the box on the driveway, and budget for a $273 permit if it must go in the street.

In Clovis city limits, who you call depends on what goes in the box. For a garage or yard cleanout, the City tells residents to order a roll-off through its Solid Waste Division, delivered by its contractor IWS and billed by the City. For construction or demolition debris, use a company on the City's approved C&D hauler list, such as C&W Enterprises or Valley Dumpster Service. Try the free twice-yearly curbside clean-up first if you only have furniture and clutter.

In Colton the hauler is fixed: the City contracts exclusively with CR&R, and its construction program says no outside companies may be used. What you decide is the box and the timing. For furniture, use your eight yearly bulky pickups or the Steel Road yard; for remodel or cleanout debris, book a CR&R temporary roll-off at the City-set 3-day rate, keep it on your driveway, and plan the job so you are not paying $17.01 for each extra day.

Inside Concord city limits, a debris box at a house comes from Mt. Diablo Resource Recovery, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; outside dumpster companies and brokers are not allowed. Use MDRR's three free on-call pickups for bagged garbage and yard waste, pick the 6-yard Handy Hauler for a household cleanout or a 20-yard box for remodel debris, and keep it in the driveway unless you have a City encroachment permit.

Inside Corona city limits, order a roll-off or 3-yard cleanup bin from WM, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; the franchise covers construction debris, and the City charges a daily fee for containers left by illegal haulers. Use the three free bulk pickups first for furniture, and keep the box on your own property unless you get a City encroachment permit.

In Cupertino you are not choosing a dumpster company; you are choosing a Recology box size. The City sends every debris box that carries garbage to Recology and posts its prices, so compare the 16-yard box at $732.02 with 3 tons included against the 20-yard at $817.28 with 4 tons, and use the two free on-call pickups for smaller jobs. Keep the box on the driveway unless you have a Public Works encroachment permit.

Daly City leaves no hauler to shop for: the City says only Republic Services may supply debris boxes, at maximum rates the City publishes. Use the free yearly Republic bulky pickup for a few large items; for remodel or cleanout debris, order the smallest Republic box that fits, and if it must sit on the street, get Engineering's Temporary Container permit before delivery.

In Davis the choice is the box size, not the company. City code reserves hauling to the City's franchise hauler, and Recology Davis rents bins and roll-offs at City-set rates, with Yolo County landfill fees paid up front. Drop scrap metal and cardboard at the Second Street recycling center first, keep the box in your driveway, and ask about a City permit before it goes in the street.

Inside Dublin city limits the box comes from Amador Valley Industries, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; the City says using another company violates its ordinance. Use the three free large-item pickups for furniture, a 4-yard Handy Hauler ($296.16) for a small cleanout, and an AVI C&D drop box for remodels, kept on the driveway unless you have an encroachment permit.

In El Cajon, start with EDCO, the City's franchise waste hauler since 2021: it delivers 3-yard temporary dumpsters and 15-, 25- and 40-yard roll-offs to homes. Use the four free yearly bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances, haul clean debris to SANCO in Lemon Grove if you have a truck, and ask both EDCO and the City whether an outside dumpster company may serve your address before booking one.

In El Monte the company is already chosen: the City allows only Valley Vista Services bins, and outside bins get pulled. Start with the 20 free bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances; for remodel or cleanout debris, pick the Valley Vista size from the City's posted 2026 prices, keep it on your driveway, and get a City encroachment permit before any box goes in the street.

For an Elk Grove house, rent from a company that confirms it is authorized by the City; Republic handles carts, not every bin. For a garage of junk, try the three free bulk pickups or the free annual Elder Creek trip first. Keep the box on the driveway unless you get a City encroachment permit.

For a roll-off or cleanup bin at an Encinitas house, call EDCO, the City's franchised hauler, and get the rental days, weight allowance and overage charge in writing, since none are posted. Pick the 15-yard box for heavy tile, concrete or dirt, the 40-yard for a full remodel, and the 3-yard bin for tight coastal lots. Keep the box off the street unless the City approves it.

Inside Fontana city limits, book a roll-off or 3-yard temporary bin from Burrtec, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; City forms say construction and clean-up containers come only from Burrtec. Use the three free bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances, and keep the box entirely on your lot.

In Fountain Valley the only roll-off at a house is a Republic Services box, because the City names Republic as its exclusive franchisee and says containers can only be rented from it. Use the four free 10-item bulky pickups for furniture and appliances first; for remodel or cleanout debris, pick the Republic size that fits, keep it in the driveway, and file the City's waste plan if your project has a building permit.

For a debris box at a Fremont house, call Republic Services, the City’s exclusive franchised collector, which rents 6- to 40-yard boxes from its Boyce Road yard; City Code makes the franchise collector the sole authorized collector in the city. Two free bulky pickups a year may cover a small cleanout, and keeping the box on your driveway avoids a street-permit question.

Inside Fresno city limits, the City carts household trash but does not rent roll-offs; any company on the City's approved non-exclusive roll-off list may bring one to your house. Rent a bin when Operation Clean Up will not take the job (roofing, remodels, landscaping, more than 10 cubic yards) or you cannot wait for your annual date, and keep it on the driveway unless Public Works says otherwise.

Inside Garden Grove city limits, a roll-off or 3-yard bin comes from Republic Services (Garden Grove Disposal), the City and Sanitary District's exclusive franchisee; other dumpster companies cannot lawfully serve your house. Use the three free bulky-item pickups first for furniture and appliances, and keep the box on your driveway unless Public Works issues an encroachment permit.

In Gardena there is no shopping around: since May 1, 2026 WM holds the City's exclusive franchise, and the franchise covers temporary roll-offs and bins at houses, so book through WM at (310) 366-7600. Its prices are capped by the City's rate schedule (a 10-yard box is $840.93 per load with 4 tons, plus $194.68 delivery). Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture, and because the City's code keeps containers out of street view outside collection day, keep the rental short.

In Gilroy the choice is not which company but which Recology box, or whether you need one at all. The City's franchise gives Recology South Valley the exclusive right to haul all waste, including construction debris, so order the 6-, 20- or 40-yard box from its Pacheco Pass Highway office. For a couple of furniture pieces, use the two free bulky pickups; for a few truckloads, self-haul to San Martin.

Inside Hayward city limits, order a roll-off from Waste Management of Alameda County; the City says no other company may provide roll-off service here. If you only have furniture, appliances and bagged junk, use the two free bulky pickups and the free self-haul coupon first. Keep the box on your driveway unless the City confirms a street placement.

In Hemet you do not shop between dumpster companies: the City code and CR&R's exclusive franchise make CR&R the only lawful debris-box supplier at most homes, and outside bins can be impounded. Book a bulky pickup for furniture, order a CR&R box at the City-set rate for bigger jobs, keep it on your driveway, and have it gone within 30 days.

In Hesperia the hauler is already chosen: the City's exclusive franchise sends every roll-off at a house to Advance Disposal, and the City publishes Advance's box rates. Decide instead between a free bulky pickup (four a year, eight items), a 3-yard Rent-A-Bin for a small cleanout, or a full roll-off, and budget for the $600 deposit and tonnage on top of the haul charge.

In Highland you do not shop around: Burrtec holds the City's exclusive franchise for temporary bins and roll-offs, and the City Council sets its prices. Use the four free bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances first. For a cleanout or remodel, pick the Burrtec box that fits the job, ask Burrtec what the City's residential container-placement rule needs from you, and keep the box on your driveway for no more than the seven included days.

Inside Huntington Beach city limits, rent a roll-off or Rent-A-Bin only from Republic Services, the City's exclusive franchise hauler; the City says bins from other haulers get cited or impounded. Use your four free bulk pickups for furniture, or drive small loads to Nichols Lane. Sunset Beach addresses should check with their sanitary district.

In Huntington Park the choice is the size of a Valley Vista box, not the company. The City's exclusive franchise covers construction and demolition waste and makes Valley Vista the provider of temporary bins and roll-offs. Try the free four-item bulky pickups for furniture, pick a 3-yard bin or small roll-off that fits a narrow lot, and call Public Works before anything goes in the street.

In Indio, start with Burrtec, the City's franchised hauler, which offers roll-offs and temporary bins in the City. For a few large items, book Burrtec's free curbside bulky pickup instead. Before hiring any other dumpster company, ask the City whether it may serve an Indio address, and confirm your home is inside City limits rather than in Bermuda Dunes or Indio Hills.

In Inglewood you are not choosing among dumpster companies: City Public Works says containers must be ordered through Republic Services, its only authorized hauler. Book the free Republic bulky pickup first for furniture and appliances, then order a Republic box for renovation or cleanout debris, keep it on the driveway, and talk to Public Works before any box goes on the street, especially near stadium event days.

For an Irvine construction project, establish the authorized hauler and recycling paperwork first. Then choose between mixed construction debris and a separate dense-material container. An advertised capacity does not tell you the disposal weight included in the quote.

Inside Jurupa Valley city limits, Burrtec Waste Industries is the only hauler allowed to put a bin at your house; the City says no other hauler is authorized, so skip outside dumpster companies and brokers. Use the two free bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances, call Burrtec at (951) 786-0639 for a 10-, 20- or 40-yard bin for remodel or cleanout debris, get the price and weight allowance in writing, and keep the bin off the street unless Engineering approves it.

In La Habra, book a roll-off from CR&R, the City's franchised hauler; City Code § 8.04.140 bars other companies from placing bins at La Habra homes. Price comes from the City's rate schedule: about $751 to $812 for household refuse or $1,064 to $1,125 for mixed remodel debris, with 5 tons included. Try the four free bulky pickups first for furniture, keep the box on your driveway and tarp it.

Inside La Mesa City limits, EDCO Disposal is the only company the City authorizes to haul solid waste, so a roll-off or cleanup bin at your house must be ordered from EDCO. Pick the 3-yard bin or a 10- to 40-yard box, keep it on your driveway, and get an Engineering encroachment permit first if it has to sit in the street.

For a Laguna Niguel house, book the bin or roll-off through CR&R, the City's exclusive hauler; the City says no other company's dumpster may be placed on streets or private property. Use the free bulky-item pickups for a few large items, and put the box in your driveway to skip the $75 street permit.

In Lake Elsinore, start with CR&R: it is the City's franchised hauler and the City publishes its 10- and 40-yard roll-off and 3-yard bin prices. Disposal fees come on top, so get the full haul cost in writing. Use the two free bulky pickups for furniture, keep the box on your driveway, and call the City before booking any other company or putting a box in the street.

In Lake Forest you are not shopping between dumpster companies: the City's exclusive agreement makes CR&R the only source of a debris box or roll-off, and its prices are set in the City's rate sheet. Your real choices are box size, mixed C&D processing versus direct-to-landfill pricing, whether three free bulky pickups cover the job, and whether to self-haul debris to an approved facility instead.

Lakewood's choice is about size and timing, not company. EDCO has served the City since 1954 under an exclusive agreement, and the City says it is the only waste hauler allowed here. For furniture and appliances, use the six free bulky-item collections first; for a garage cleanout or remodel, order an EDCO box sized to the weight of your debris, keep it on the driveway, and get the rental days and charges in writing.

Inside Lancaster city limits, start with WM, the hauler the City has chosen for trash service, and get a written roll-off quote. Before hiring any other dumpster company, confirm with the City whether WM's franchise covers temporary bins at houses. For a few large items, the four free bulky pickups and two landfill e-vouchers may be enough.

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.

In Long Beach a debris bin must come from one of the private haulers on the City's permitted list (eight at our check), not just any company that advertises the city. Use the City's free special collections for furniture and appliances; rent a bin for remodel, roofing or yard-scraping debris, and get a Public Works permit if it has to sit in a parking lane.

For a house inside Los Angeles city limits, hire a private bin company that holds a City waste hauler permit and appears on LASAN's published list; the recycLA franchise covers apartment buildings and businesses, not houses. Keep the bin on your driveway or lot if you can, because a bin on the street, sidewalk or parkway needs a StreetsLA permit.

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.

Inside Madera City limits there is one roll-off company to call: Mid Valley Disposal, the City's exclusive franchised hauler. Your real choices are whether to wait for the annual curbside cleanup, haul debris yourself to Fairmead Landfill, or order a Mid Valley box, and if you order one, how many loads and how long it stays, since the City prices boxes by monthly rent, per-pull charge and landfill tonnage.

In Manteca the question is which City container, not which company. The City is its own garbage hauler and says it holds the exclusive right to collect solid waste, so call the Solid Waste Division. Use the free 2-yard cleanup bin for a small purge, a 3- to 6-yard bin for a few weeks of clutter, and a 10- to 40-yard roll-off for remodels; budget $520.13 per pull plus $64.87 a ton, with a $700 deposit up front.

Inside Menifee city limits, a roll-off or 3-yard cleanup bin comes from WM, the City's exclusive franchised hauler, at City-capped prices; outside dumpster companies and brokers are not the route. Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture and appliances first, keep the box on your driveway, and get a City encroachment permit if it must sit in the street.

In Merced the roll-off comes from the City. City Code gives the City the exclusive right to collect solid waste, and the Refuse Division rents 10-, 20- and 30-yard boxes at posted fees. Order by phone by 3:30 p.m. for next-business-day delivery, or self-haul a small load to the Highway 59 Landfill.

In Milpitas, the City routes every temporary debris box through Milpitas Sanitation, so the real choices are box size, mixed or C&D material, and whether a cheaper MSI option fits. Try a free on-call clean-up or a $161.23 small bin for a garage cleanout; for a remodel, order a C&D box from MSI, keep it on your own driveway, and plan to finish within the City's 30-day limit.

Inside Modesto city limits, look up which franchised hauler serves your street, Gilton or Bertolotti, and ask that company for a roll-off quote first. For a couple of large items, use a free bulky pickup or transfer-station voucher instead. Keep the box on your driveway, because no City permit for a street bin was found.

In Montebello the first filter is the City's franchise list: a box from a company that is not on it should not be hauling here. For a household cleanout, Athens already collects your trash and offers roll-offs; for remodel or concrete work, Haul-Away, based on Date Street in the city, adds a 40-yard box and a low-boy for heavy fill. Try the free Athens bulky pickup for a few large items, keep any box on the driveway, and get a roll-off bin permit before it goes on the street.

In Monterey Park a roll-off must come from one of the City's two franchise collectors, and for a house that normally means Ware Disposal, the exclusive residential franchisee. Try Ware's free unlimited bulky pickups for furniture first, book a Ware box for remodel debris, keep it on the driveway for as few days as possible, and file the Debris Management Report if your job has a building permit.

Inside Moreno Valley city limits, book any roll-off or temporary bin through Waste Management, the City's franchise hauler; the City says no other haulers are authorized. For furniture and appliances, use the free monthly bulky pickups first. Keep the box in your driveway, or get an Encroachment Permit before it goes in the street.

In Mountain View the choice is the size of a Recology box, not the company. Recology says the City's exclusive franchise covers debris boxes and that other haulers break the Municipal Code. Try the two free bulky pickups and the Terra Bella recycling center for furniture, metal and clean lumber; for remodel or roofing debris, order an 8- to 40-yard Recology box for the driveway and get the overweight and after-seven-day charges in writing.

Inside Murrieta city limits, a roll-off at a house comes from Waste Management, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; outside dumpster companies and brokers may not offer the service. Use WM's two free bulky pickups for furniture and appliances, book WM's temporary roll-off at the City-posted flat price for remodel or cleanout debris, and keep the box on your driveway unless Public Works has approved a street spot.

In Newport Beach, rent a roll-off only from a company on the City's Approved Non-Exclusive Franchise Haulers List; CR&R handles household carts but the City sends roll-off customers to that list. Keep the box on your driveway if you can, because a bin in the street needs a Public Works permit capped at 14 days. Use the five free bulky pickups for furniture-only jobs.

In Norwalk every roll-off at a house comes from Athens Services, because the City's franchise makes Athens the exclusive provider of temporary bins and roll-off boxes. Use the free weekly bulky pickup for furniture and appliances, order an Athens box for remodel or yard-clearing debris, keep it on the driveway, and get the $50 Engineering bin permit only if it has to sit in the street.

In Novato the hauler is set by the Novato Sanitary District, not the City, and its franchise sends debris boxes at houses to Recology Sonoma Marin. Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture, a 3- or 6-yard cleanup bin for a short household cleanout, and a Recology debris box for remodel or heavy debris; if you have a pickup truck, Redwood Landfill in north Novato is the self-haul option.

Inside Ontario city limits, roll-offs and temporary bins come from the City's Integrated Waste division, not private dumpster companies; the City's construction packet says third-party haulers are not allowed. Budget $369.29 a pull plus a weight-based disposal charge, or $95 for a 7-day temporary bin. For a few large items, use the four free bulky-item appointments first.

For a house inside City of Orange limits, book a roll-off or temporary bin from CR&R, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; outside dumpster companies are not the City's provider. Use the free bulky-item pickups for a few pieces of furniture, and keep the box on your driveway unless CR&R and the City approve a street spot.

Inside Oxnard city limits, start with the City's Environmental Resources Division: it collects trash itself and rents its own roll-offs and small bins, billed as a flat pull fee plus disposal by the ton. Use your free yearly bulky pickup for a few large items, keep the box in the driveway, and confirm the address is not El Rio, Silver Strand or Hollywood Beach, which are County areas.

In Palm Desert the first call is Burrtec, the City's waste and recycling provider, which takes roll-off and temporary-bin orders for Palm Desert addresses from its Eclectic Street office. Confirm your parcel is in the City, get your association's approval if you live behind a gate, and fit the box on the driveway; small loads can go to Edom Hill yourself.

Inside Palmdale city limits, book a roll-off through WM, the City's exclusive trash and recycling provider, and get its haul, tonnage and overage terms in writing because Palmdale roll-off prices are not posted. Try your four free bulky pickups and two free landfill vouchers first, and keep the box on your driveway unless Engineering issues an encroachment permit.

In Palo Alto you choose a box size, not a company. The City's refuse utility gives GreenWaste of Palo Alto the exclusive right to haul mixed debris, and the City Council publishes the box prices. Use a Clean Up Day for furniture and bulky items. For a remodel or cleanout, order a GreenWaste box and keep it in the driveway. Apply to Public Works for an encroachment permit only if the lot truly has no room.

In Paramount the practical choice is an Athens box or no box. Athens is the City's franchise hauler, its yard is in town on East Petterson Lane, and the City posts its 2026-27 maximum roll-off rates. Use the free Athens bulky pickup for furniture and appliances; for remodel or cleanout debris, order the smallest Athens box that fits your driveway and have it pulled before the seventh-day demurrage starts.

For a Petaluma house, start with Recology Sonoma Marin, the City's cart hauler with a Petaluma office and published 7-day cleanup-bin prices, and get a written debris-box quote from at least one other company that confirms it holds a City of Petaluma debris box franchise. Use the two free Recology bulky pickups for furniture and appliances, and consider the Central Disposal Site on Mecham Road for small debris loads.

In Pico Rivera the only company that may set a roll-off at your house is NASA Services, and only after the City issues a bin permit. Use the 10 free yearly bulky pickups for furniture and appliances; for remodel or cleanout debris, get the Planning permit, order a NASA box for your driveway, and have it hauled away within the permit period.

In Placentia the choice is which Republic Services box, not which company. The City's exclusive franchise and its C&D form leave homeowners two routes: a Republic container or hauling the debris yourself. Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture first, pick a 15-yard box for heavy remodel debris or a 30-yard for bulky cleanouts, and keep it on your driveway unless you have an encroachment permit.

In Pleasanton the only real choice is which Pleasanton Garbage Service box, or whether you need one at all. The City's franchise gives PGS the rental of debris containers, so outside dumpster companies and brokers are not an option. For a truckload, the Busch Road transfer station charges residents by the yard; for a few large items, PGS's per-item pickup can be cheaper; for a remodel, book a PGS box on weekdays and keep it on the driveway.

In Porterville the City is the trash company. Its code makes City service mandatory and bars hauling businesses without the City Manager's written permission, and Field Services rents 3- and 4-yard bins and 10/15- and 30-yard roll-offs. Book through (559) 782-7514, budget for the deposit, the flat empty fee and the County tonnage charge, and use a paid special pickup instead if you only have a few bulky items.

In Rancho Cordova, Republic Services empties the household carts, but a cleanout or remodel roll-off can come from any company on the City's list of eligible temporary debris-box providers. GreenWaste of Sacramento and Waste Removal & Recycling are both listed and publish Rancho Cordova pages; keep the box on your driveway, and use Republic's free bulky pickups for furniture before paying for a box.

Inside Rancho Cucamonga city limits, book any roll-off or 3-yard cleanup bin through Burrtec; the City says it is the only business permitted to haul trash here and that unauthorized containers are not allowed. Use the four free bulky-item pickups first for furniture and appliances, get Burrtec's price in writing, and keep the box on your driveway.

In Redlands the box comes from City Hall, not a dumpster company. The City's Solid Waste Division rents 10- to 40-yard roll-offs at fixed prices with seven days and eight tons included. Use the two free yearly bulky pickups for furniture, pick a refuse, C&D or green-waste box to match the load, keep it on your driveway, and call Customer Service before booking if the box can only go in an alley or street.

In Rialto the choice is not between dumpster companies but between a Burrtec box and doing without one. The City's only trash and recycling contract is with Burrtec, so order from Burrtec, keep the box on the driveway, and use the two free yearly bulky pickups or a trip to the Mid-Valley landfill for smaller jobs.

Inside Richmond city limits, book a roll-off or small temporary bin from Republic Services of Richmond, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; outside dumpster companies and brokers are not the City's provider. Use the three free on-call pickups for furniture and bagged junk first, and keep the box on your own property unless Engineering approves an encroachment permit.

Inside Roseville city limits you can rent a cleanup or C&D dumpster from the City's Waste Services Division or from a company on the City's approved non-exclusive franchise hauler list. Check the company against that list, keep the bin on your driveway if you can, and get an online Dumpster/POD encroachment permit before a bin goes in the street.

Inside Sacramento city limits, rent a roll-off only from a company holding a City of Sacramento solid waste franchise; the City does not rent boxes itself. For a small cleanout, try the two free household junk pickups first. Keep the box on your driveway, or get a Street Use encroachment permit before it goes in the street.

Inside Salinas city limits, a debris box comes from Republic Services, the City's exclusive franchise, unless you haul the debris yourself in your own vehicle. Use the free annual bulky pickup or a Johnson Canyon trip for small jobs, budget for tonnage on top of the per-pull price, and keep the box off the street unless the City Engineer approves.

Inside San Bernardino city limits, order a roll-off or 3-yard cleanup bin from Burrtec, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; City Code bars other companies from collecting construction debris or trash here. Use the two free bulky-item pickups first for furniture, and keep the bin on your driveway, since we found no street-bin permit.

In San Clemente you do not shop between dumpster companies: the City's exclusive franchise sends every temporary bin and roll-off to CR&R, at rates posted on the City's website. Use the four free yearly bulky pickups for furniture and appliances, order a CR&R box for remodel or cleanout debris, keep it on the driveway, and get a City encroachment permit before a box goes on the street.

Inside San Diego city limits, any roll-off must come from a company holding a City solid-waste franchise; City crews only empty curbside carts and will not take remodel debris. Pick a hauler from the City's Franchise Hauler Directory, keep the box on your driveway if you can, and budget for a DSD Traffic Control Permit if it has to go on the street.

In San Francisco, household junk and cleanout loads are refuse that only the City's licensed collector, Recology, may haul, so a cleanout debris box comes from Recology. A box of pure construction debris may also come from any company with a current Environment Department C&D permit. Since most homes have no driveway, budget for a Public Works street permit and 10 business days of lead time.

San Jacinto is a one-hauler city for roll-offs. The City's CR&R franchise covers all refuse generated in City limits and sends bulk construction waste to CR&R bin service, so call CR&R Customer Care for the box and get its terms in writing. For a few bulky items, book a CR&R bulky pickup instead; for small loads you can haul yourself, Lamb Canyon Landfill charges a flat rate per pickup.

San Leandro is split between two exclusive service areas: most homes book a debris box from ACI, which publishes per-pull and per-ton prices, while homes in the Oro Loma Sanitary District part of the City must use WM. Check which area you are in, use the two free bulky pickups for furniture and appliances, and keep the box in your driveway unless the City confirms a street permit.

Inside San Marcos city limits the question is which EDCO container, not which company: the City treats any other company's bin as a franchise violation. Use the two free bulky-load coupons or a paid EDCO bulky pickup for furniture, order an EDCO 3-yard bin or roll-off for real debris, and keep it on the driveway unless you have a 10-day encroachment permit.

In San Ramon, what is in the box decides who may haul it. Garbage and cleanout debris must go in an ACI box at the City-set 2026 rates. Debris from a remodel with a City building or demolition permit, or sorted recyclables, can also be quoted by a City-listed franchisee such as GreenWaste. Try a free Neighborhood Clean-Up day first for furniture and junk.

Inside Santa Ana city limits, order a roll-off or temporary bin from Republic Services, the City's franchised hauler; other dumpster companies advertising Santa Ana are not the City's provider. For a few large items, use the four free bulky-item pickups first. Keep the box on your driveway, since we found no street-bin permit.

For a house or townhome inside Santa Clara city limits, book the debris box from Mission Trail Waste Systems, which says it is the exclusive provider everywhere outside industrial zones. Budget the per-pull charge plus per-ton disposal and a $1,000 prepayment, plan on pickup by day seven, and get a City street permit first if the box cannot fit in your driveway.

In Santa Cruz you rent from City Hall, not from a dumpster company. Public Works' Resource Recovery Collections division owns every lawful roll-off in City limits, at Council-set prices from $459.98 for a 10-yard box for 15 days. Pick the box by material, since sorted wood, concrete or sheetrock is cheaper to dump, keep it on your property if you can, and plan for a building permit if it must stay more than a month.

In Santa Monica the City collects household carts but rents only a 2-yard bin that cannot take furniture or construction debris, so a real debris box comes from a private company on the City's Approved Private Hauler List. Southern California Disposal (yard on Frank Street in the city) and Bins n Bins both qualify. Fit the box on your own lot if you can, and get a City permit before it goes in an alley or the street.

In Santee you are not choosing between dumpster companies: the City's exclusive franchise with WM covers roll-off boxes and construction debris, so order from WM at the City-set rates. Before you book, check whether two free Sycamore Landfill passes or a free bulky pickup will do the job, keep the box on your driveway if you can, and apply four weeks ahead if it must sit along the curb.

Inside Simi Valley city limits, order a roll-off or 3-yard temporary bin from WM, the City's exclusive franchised hauler; the City rate sheet charges an impound fee for boxes left by non-permitted haulers. Use the two free bulky pickups for furniture first, and keep the box on your driveway since we could not confirm a City rule for street placement.

In South Gate the hauler choice is already made: the City contracts with Universal Waste Systems, which calls itself the City's exclusive waste provider and rents temporary bins to residents. Use the free bulky pickups for furniture, call UWS for a box when you have debris, keep the box on your driveway, and get a Public Works encroachment permit if it has to sit in the street.

In South San Francisco the box comes from South San Francisco Scavenger Company, the City's exclusive franchisee; outside dumpster companies and brokers are not the City's provider. Use the two free yearly cleanups for furniture and bagged junk, pick the 7-yard box for dirt or concrete, and keep the box on your driveway unless Engineering issues a street permit.

Inside Stockton city limits, start with the company that empties your carts: Republic Services for gray cart bodies, WM for green. Both offer 3-day 4-yard and 20-yard bins at City-set prices. For a bigger roll-off or a remodel load, hire a hauler on the City's permitted C&D list. Keep the box on your driveway unless Engineering approves a street spot.

Torrance Sanitation handles household carts but not roll-offs, so a Torrance house needs a box from a private hauler on the City's licensed list; JJK Roll Offs (based in Torrance) and Athens Services both name the city. Use the free yearly Large Item Pick-Up for furniture, keep the box in the driveway, and get a Community Development permit naming your listed hauler if it must sit in the street.

In Tracy you are not choosing a company: the City's construction-waste form allows only Tracy Disposal or genuine self-haul, and the Council publishes the box prices. Decide between a mixed cleanout box and a C&D box (the C&D rate is higher), pick the size, keep it on the driveway, and get the rental days and weight limit in writing. For one furniture purge, use the free annual bulky pickup or drive a load to Tracy Material Recovery instead.

Inside Tustin city limits, book a temporary bin or roll-off from CR&R, the City's contracted hauler, rather than an outside dumpster company. Use the four free bulky-item pickups first if you only have furniture or appliances. Before the box arrives, ask how the City's rule on screening trash containers from view applies on your driveway, and get Engineering's approval for any street placement.

Upland settles the who: Burrtec is the City's franchised hauler and the only company you may hire for a container, though you can haul your own debris. What remains is the right box. Use the free bulky pickups for furniture, a $186 temporary bin for a small cleanout, a C&D or demo box for remodel and concrete debris, and the 6-ton trash roll-off for a big mixed cleanout, and settle where it will sit before delivery.

In Vacaville the question is which Recology box, not which company. The City's recycling site says Recology Vacaville Solano holds an exclusive franchise for all garbage services, and Recology posts City-limits debris-box prices starting at $560.64 for a 20-yard box over four days. Use the free yearly curbside cleanup or Hay Road pass for small jobs, and book a box only when the pile outgrows them.

Inside Vallejo city limits, a debris box at your house comes from Recology Vallejo, which the City names as the only company permitted to provide debris box service. Use the four free bulky pickups first for furniture and appliances, or self-haul to Devlin Road, and keep the box on your driveway unless you have a City encroachment permit.

Inside Victorville city limits, book a roll-off or 3-yard bin through Victorville Disposal/Burrtec, the City's exclusive franchised hauler, at City-set prices. For a household cleanout, the 40-yard clean-out roll-off with 3 tons included is the cheapest large option; for permitted remodels, order a C&D roll-off so the job can pass final. Try the free Anacapa Road drop-off first for furniture and appliances.

Inside Visalia city limits, start with the City's Solid Waste office, which rents its own 2-yard bins, low-boys and roll-offs to residents. Private roll-off companies operate only under a City franchise permit, so confirm a company's permit and what waste it may take before you book one.

Inside Vista city limits, the box comes from EDCO, which holds the City's exclusive solid waste franchise and offers a 3-yard temporary bin and 15- and 40-yard roll-offs but publishes no prices. Get a written quote, use EDCO's bulky pickup for a few large items, and keep the box on your driveway.

Inside Watsonville city limits, order a debris box from the City's Solid Waste Division at 831-768-3133; the City's construction-waste rules say garbage must go through City service and only recyclables may go to other companies. For a few bulky items, use the yearly free pickup or the Harvest Drive drop-off instead.

In West Covina the decision is not which company but which Athens box. The City's exclusive franchise sends every bin and roll-off at a house to Athens Services, and outside bins can be impounded. Try the free weekly Athens bulky pickup for furniture first; for remodel or cleanout debris, order an Athens box, keep it in the driveway, and ask Engineering about a permit before parking it on the street.

Inside Westminster, trash belongs to the Midway City Sanitary District, and its franchised hauler CR&R is the company to call for a roll-off or rent-a-bin; outside dumpster companies are not part of that franchise. Use the District's two-item bulky pickup for a sofa or a washer. For a remodel or garage cleanout, book a CR&R box and keep it on your driveway.

Since November 1, 2025 the whole City of Whittier, east side included, is served by one franchised hauler, Athens Services, and Athens is where a roll-off for a Whittier house comes from. For a few pieces of furniture, use the four free Athens bulky pickups first; for a remodel or a full cleanout, order an Athens box, keep it on the driveway, and get the rental days and weight allowance in writing because no prices are posted.

In Woodland the real choices are box type and size, not company. WM holds the City's exclusive franchise, and contractors may not hire any other hauler, so a Woodland box comes from WM at City-set haul rates that include 2 to 4 tons. Use the yearly bulky-waste voucher for furniture first, pick a material-specific box to cut the price, keep it on the driveway, and allow one to three weeks if it must go in the street.

In Yorba Linda you do not choose a dumpster company: Republic Services holds the City's exclusive franchise, and boxes from anyone else can be impounded. Use the three free bulky pickups for furniture, pick the Republic box that matches your debris (clean wood, concrete or mixed), keep it on the driveway, and have it pulled promptly.

Inside Yuba City, a debris box at a house comes from Recology Yuba-Sutter, the City's exclusive franchisee; other dumpster companies cannot lawfully drop a box here. Use the four free bulky pickups for furniture first. Before booking a box for more than three days, ask Code Enforcement whether the nuisance code's 72-hour limit applies to your cleanout.

In Yucaipa you do not shop around for a roll-off: the City's exclusive franchise hauler, Yucaipa Disposal (Burrtec), is the only company allowed to provide roll-off bins, and the City posts its prices. Use the four free bulky-item pickups for furniture and appliances, pick the smallest Yucaipa Disposal box that fits the job, keep it on your driveway, and call City Engineering before anything goes in the street.
