At Prime Dumpster, we arrange roll-off dumpster rentals across Whittier, California, in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Whittier's housing stock is older than most of the county around it, with Craftsman and Spanish revival homes near Uptown, postwar tracts on the flats toward Pico Rivera, and hillside lots up toward the Puente Hills. That mix keeps renovation, roofing and construction work steady all year.
Whittier also does something few Los Angeles County cities do. The City runs its own landfill. CalRecycle's facility record names the City of Whittier as the operator of Savage Canyon Landfill on East Penn Street, which means the local destination for a Whittier load is a public one.

Whittier jobs tend to be heavy. Clay tile roofs, stucco, plaster walls and the concrete from old patios and driveways all weigh far more per yard than drywall or carpet.
That makes the weight allowance the real price driver here. A Whittier stucco or roof tear-off can reach the limit in a container that still looks half empty.
Your Whittier account manager sets the allowance, the overage rate and the size before booking, and gives you one clear, upfront figure.

Start with the material, then the volume, then the room on the lot.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is the Whittier choice for stucco, concrete, brick and clay tile, where the load gets heavy long before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster fits a kitchen or bathroom remodel in an older Uptown house, or a garage clean-up on a flatland lot.
The 20-Yard Dumpster covers most whole-house cleanouts and multi-room renovations in Whittier's postwar tracts.
The 30-Yard Dumpster suits a large remodel, an addition, or new residential construction on a hillside parcel.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is the largest in the range, used on commercial demolition and larger construction where volume is the limit.
The Whittier question we hear most is the reroof. A clay tile roof can weigh three or four times what an asphalt shingle roof weighs per square, so a tile tear-off usually belongs in a 10 or 15-yard container, while an asphalt roof of the same size fits a 20.
A container on private property, such as your own driveway, is the simplest Whittier placement and the one most owners use. Many Whittier homes have long drives or alley garages that make room for a container off the street.
What the City requires for a container in a public street, and whether Whittier controls which companies may collect waste inside city limits, was not confirmed for this guide. The City's website refused our requests, so no Whittier rule on street placement, franchising or hauler permits is stated here in either direction.
The practical answer is the City's Public Works staff, who handle work in the public right-of-way. Your Whittier account manager confirms the current requirements with the City before a delivery date is promised, and keeps the container on private ground wherever the lot allows.
California adds a layer that reaches every permitted job. The state green building code requires most construction and demolition projects with a building permit to divert at least 65 percent of their debris from landfill. A Whittier remodel with a permit usually needs receipts showing where the material went.
Wood, drywall, roofing, flooring, cabinets, fixtures, stucco, furniture and general cleanout debris all belong in a Whittier container.
California keeps a firm line on household hazardous waste. Batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics, paint, solvents, motor oil and pesticides cannot go in the trash anywhere in the state, and that includes a roll-off.
Treated wood is its own category in California. Old fence posts, deck framing and pressure-treated lumber need a facility approved for treated wood, so mention it before the container arrives.
Asbestos and lead paint are the older-house questions. Whittier homes built before 1980 can carry asbestos in floor tile, ductwork and textured ceilings, and lead in old window trim. Both need testing before demolition.
On a Whittier job, liquids, fuel, tires and pressurized tanks stay out too.
Tell your Whittier account manager what the job is and roughly when the house was built, and any separate routes get arranged alongside the container.
If the item you want to dispose of isn’t on this list, give us a call for more guidance or check out our guide of what you can throw in a dumpster.
*Approved items may vary by location. Always check your local laws and regulations to avoid any fines or additional fees.
Whittier is one of the few cities in Los Angeles County with a landfill it runs itself.
CalRecycle's facility record lists Savage Canyon Landfill, on East Penn Street in Whittier, as active and permitted, with the City of Whittier as its operator. That makes it a public destination, which is why it is the one facility named here.
Whether Savage Canyon accepts a particular construction load from a commercial hauling partner, and on what terms, was not confirmed for this guide, because the City's own pages could not be opened. Call the landfill before sending a load there.
The wider county system is run by other public and private operators, and California's 65 percent diversion target pushes clean concrete, wood and metal toward recycling facilities rather than burial.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager confirms which permitted site will take a Whittier load, and whether separating the stucco and concrete will lower the cost.
13919 East Penn Street, Whittier, CA 90602
Operated by the City of Whittier (CalRecycle record). Call ahead to confirm it will take a commercial construction load.
Most Whittier rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. Whittier Boulevard, Painter Avenue and the I-605 and I-5 corridors give the trucks straightforward access.
A few things keep a Whittier delivery on schedule:
Book early in the week for the best choice of delivery days.
Client Reviews
Prime Dumpster arranges container service throughout Whittier, from Uptown and the college district to the flats along Whittier Boulevard, the East Whittier tracts and the hillside streets near the Puente Hills.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. Your Whittier account manager checks the placement with the City, sizes the container to the material and confirms where the load will go.
Your Prime Dumpster account manager handles the details, from tonnage and overage rates to permit contacts and delivery timing, so you can focus on the work.
Whittier rentals run from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard container up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard on a five-day rental. Stucco, tile and concrete are heavy, so on most Whittier jobs the weight allowance shapes the price more than the size. Your account manager confirms it up front.
For a single pickup load, driving it yourself can be cheaper. For a Whittier remodel or roof, a container usually wins, because stucco and tile take many trips and each trip is weighed and charged on its own.
Yes, easily. A standard couch fills roughly a fifth of a 10-yard container. On a Whittier garage or house clean-up that leaves plenty of room for a mattress, chairs and boxes, and furniture is light enough that space runs out first.
A Whittier container takes no batteries, fluorescent tubes, electronics, paint, solvents, oil, tires, pressurized tanks or asbestos. In California, treated wood also needs its own approved facility. Mention any of these for your Whittier job and your account manager arranges a separate route.
The 10-yard container starts lowest at $399 to $499, and on a Whittier stucco or concrete job it is often the right size anyway. For a light, bulky Whittier cleanout, a 20-yard can cost less per cubic yard of space.
Whittier rentals start at the five-day rate, so a three-day job is priced the same. The total moves with weight, not days, and tile or stucco is where it climbs. Your Whittier account manager quotes the allowance and the overage rate first.
Lumber, drywall, roofing, flooring, carpet, cabinets, doors, stucco, furniture, cardboard and general household debris. Clean concrete and brick go in too, and on a Whittier job a separate load of only those often costs less.
