California / Local rental guide

Dumpster rental
in Woodland.

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.

The first decision in Woodland

Check the city boundary first.

There is no second company to compare: WM is the only lawful roll-off provider at Woodland homes, and the only alternative is hauling debris in your own truck. What does differ is the box type: a 20-yard clean-wood or cardboard box costs $166.42 per haul, mixed trash $323.17 and mixed C&D $369.94, and the 10-yard concrete/dirt box is $228.49 with no included tonnage. Watch the 14-day rental period, the roll-top and fuel charges and the unpublished overage rate.

Your local checklist

Confirm your parcel is inside Woodland City limits rather than unincorporated Yolo County with a Woodland address, because the WM franchise rule and the City-set rates apply only inside the City.
Before booking, check whether your yearly WM bulky-waste voucher (one free load of up to 5 cubic yards at the Yolo County Landfill) or the $99.15 curbside bulky pickup covers the job.
Order the box from WM at (530) 662-8748, ask which material-specific box suits your debris, confirm the overage and fuel charges, and plan the job within the 14-day rental period; if the box must go in the street, email engineeringpermits@cityofwoodland.gov one to three weeks ahead.

01 / SOURCE-CHECKED LISTING

WM (Waste Management of Woodland, the City of Woodland's exclusive franchised hauler)

Published sizes: The City-approved debris-box rate sheet prices 20-, 30- and 40-yard boxes (temporary or permanent) and a 10-yard box for concrete and dirt only (temporary). WM's City-hosted roll-off guide describes boxes from 15 to 50 yards and says its 15-yard box is for concrete and dirt only; the rate sheet and the franchise agreement list 10, 20, 30 and 40 yards, so confirm the size when you order. A 3-yard temporary bin is priced separately at $222.48.
Rental & weight terms: Included tonnage: 2 tons in a 20-yard, 3 tons in a 30-yard and 4 tons in a 40-yard box (mixed trash, green waste, mixed wood and C&D boxes); the 10-yard concrete/dirt box has no included tonnage. The rate sheet does not publish a per-ton overage rate. The rental period is 14 days; a box kept longer without a scheduled pickup carries an inactivity fee from day 15 (listed as $15.30 per day, maximum $229.76 a month, in the table, and $15.31 and $229.85 in the footnote). Other charges include a $33.66 roll-top fee per haul, a $134.67 trip charge for a cancelled call without 24 hours' notice, a monthly debris-box fuel surcharge, pass-through contamination fees and landfill charges for items such as box springs, tires and TVs. The franchise agreement requires WM to deliver temporary boxes within two business days of the requested date.
Price basis: City-set haul rates effective September 1, 2025: mixed trash (MSW) $323.17 (20 yd), $484.52 (30 yd), $646.07 (40 yd); C&D $369.94 / $554.73 / $739.68; mixed wood $358.79 / $537.98 / $717.32; green waste $341.57 / $512.14 / $682.87; clean wood, cardboard or recycling $166.42 / $249.39 / $332.56; concrete/dirt 10-yard $228.49. Ask WM for the current rates and the fuel surcharge before you book.

This is the only company allowed to place a roll-off at a Woodland home. The 2025 franchise agreement (§ 2.01-2.02) grants WM the exclusive right to provide solid waste services in the City, including collection of C&D generated in the City, and § 2.05.2 lets customers self-haul only with their own equipment, adding that they 'cannot subcontract any portion of the Self-Haul to any entity other than the Company.' The City's C&D page says contractors are prohibited from hiring waste-hauling companies other than WM. Order at (530) 662-8748. WM's Woodland page lists dumpster rentals among its local services; the franchise agreement gives the company's notice address as 1333 E. Turner Rd., Lodi, CA 95241, and says Woodland's customer service center is in Lodi.

Keep the WM box on your driveway; a box in the street needs a City encroachment permit

The City's Permit Services page lists 'Placement of a dumpster within the public right-of-way' among the jobs that need an encroachment permit, which Engineering Services reviews and issues; permits are processed at the Community Development counter at City Hall, 300 First Street, and applications go to engineeringpermits@cityofwoodland.gov. The page says to allow one to three weeks for review, so a street box cannot be arranged at the last minute. The 2026-27 Comprehensive Fee Schedule lists an encroachment permit process and inspection fee of $210, and doubles fees for work begun without a permit. The application form asks for the location, start date and time to complete, and its general provisions require notice to Police, Fire and Public Works on any day a street is blocked and access to fire hydrants at all times. The franchise agreement requires debris boxes to sit on hard surfaces WM can reach, so most Woodland homes are better served by the driveway. The City also treats junk visible to the public as a nuisance, so book only the days the job needs and have WM pull the box promptly.

What matters locally

One free load of bulky items at the Yolo County Landfill each year

The City's 2025 franchise agreement requires WM to mail every Woodland home a Bulky Waste Voucher by March 15 each year, good for one free load of bulky items (up to 5 cubic yards) at the Yolo County Landfill, and to host a free annual community bulky-waste event. Homes that cannot haul a load can ask WM about the limited number of curbside bulky collections set aside for customers with physical limitations; otherwise curbside bulky pickup is $99.15 per pickup (up to 5 yards) on the City-approved residential rate sheet effective September 1, 2025. If you have a pickup truck and only a sofa, mattress and old appliances to clear, the voucher can save you a box rental entirely. Call WM at (530) 662-8748 if your voucher did not arrive.

Permitted projects must divert 65% of debris and post a recycling deposit

Woodland's construction and demolition recycling ordinance (Municipal Code Chapter 13.40) applies to new homes, demolitions and residential additions or alterations that add conditioned area, volume or size when a building permit is required. Roofing, window and siding jobs, patios, sheds and work without a building permit are not covered. Covered projects must divert at least 65% of their debris and all excavated soil and land-clearing debris, submit a Waste Reduction and Recycling Plan, and pay an administrative fee plus a refundable deposit of 3% of project value (minimum $500, maximum $15,000). From April 1, 2026 the plan and final report go through the Green Halo portal. Keep WM's diversion report or your self-haul weight tickets: full compliance returns the deposit, while non-compliance forfeits it and adds requirements to your next five projects. Questions go to the C&D Recycling Coordinator at (530) 661-2063.

Before you book

Questions about renting in Woodland.

Can I hire any dumpster company for a project at my Woodland house?

No. Woodland's 2025 franchise agreement gives WM the exclusive right to provide solid waste services in the City, including collecting construction and demolition debris, and the City's construction recycling page says contractors are prohibited from hiring waste-hauling companies other than WM. The one exception is self-hauling: you may take debris to the landfill or a recycling facility with your own truck and your own workers, but the agreement says you cannot hire anyone other than WM to do the hauling for you.

Do I need a permit to put a WM box in the street in front of my Woodland home?

Yes. The City's Permit Services page lists placing a dumpster within the public right-of-way among the jobs that need an encroachment permit from Engineering Services, with applications emailed to engineeringpermits@cityofwoodland.gov and one to three weeks allowed for review. The 2026-27 fee schedule lists a $210 encroachment permit process and inspection fee, and fees double if work starts without a permit. A box kept on your own driveway does not need this permit.
