Match your item

Construction cleanup starts with the right items.

We currently accept the doors, toilets and bathroom vanities listed here, already detached and ready outside. Choose each item separately. Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted, including in bags.

Doors

Count each detached door panel separately. Have it removed from its hinges before pickup. A whole installed doorway or garage door is not the same item.

Toilets

Choose Toilet for an ordinary household toilet that has already been disconnected, drained and moved outside. Text a photo before booking if yours is broken or has loose sharp pieces.

Bathroom vanities

Choose the small, standard or large bathroom vanity that matches your sink cabinet. A makeup table has a separate choice. Plumbing disconnection and removal from the wall happen before pickup.

  2. Keep the booked items separate

    Have the fixtures empty and ready at ground level. Keep them apart from rubble, loose renovation materials, tools and anything you want to keep.

  3. Show the outdoor handoff

Construction and demolition material

Special rules apply

Building materials are refused in a bulky item pickup, so a project has its own route. A Debris Recovery Plan may be required before a permit is issued and is filed online through GreenHalo, CALGreen requires covered projects to recycle or salvage at least 65 percent of their nonhazardous debris, and EDCO is the only hauler allowed in Lakewood, although a property owner or contractor may self-haul with their own vehicles.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no container rate and the GreenHalo tracking system is free unless the project pays administrators to upload weight receipts, so ask EDCO at 562-531-3054 for the dumpster or roll-off price and confirm the transfer station gate fee at 562-597-0608.
When & how
File the Debris Recovery Plan through GreenHalo before the permit is issued, order the container from EDCO at 562-531-3054, or self-haul the load to the EDCO transfer station at 2755 California Avenue in Signal Hill during its posted hours.
Get it ready
Separate asphalt, concrete, drywall, metals, brick, rock, tile, clean untreated wood, cardboard, carpet, insulation, plastic film and PVC pipe for the recycling facility, keep hazardous waste, asphalt shingles, clay roof tile, ceiling tile, yard waste and painted or treated wood out of that material, and keep the weight receipts the plan requires. A self-haul needs the current vehicle registration, current vehicle insurance and a photo of the vehicle with the license plate visible.

Cart placement for the weekly collection

Carts go to the curb in front of the home before 6 a.m. on the service day, in the street with the wheels against the curb and out of the way of traffic including bike lanes. The arrows on the lid point toward the street, carts stay at least two feet apart and at least three feet from parked cars, mailboxes, trees, telephone poles and other obstructions, and the lids close with nothing packed so tightly that it cannot fall out when the truck lifts the cart. Hot ashes, coals and fireworks never go in a cart.

What goes in each cart page with the cart set-out geometry, the cart sizes and contents, the hot ash rule and the extra cart terms

Six categories the bulky truck will not take

The city lists six refusals for a bulky item pickup: hazardous waste, old auto parts, machinery and other industrial items, oil, grease and other liquids, building materials such as bricks, lumber, roofing materials, dirt and broken concrete, and excessively large items such as whole tree trunks and large limbs. Electronics, fluorescent bulbs, medication and needles are refused as well, and each of those has its own route rather than a place in the pile.

A covered project files the plan before the permit

A construction or demolition project in Lakewood may need a Debris Recovery Plan before a permit is issued, and the plan is filed online through GreenHalo Waste Tracking Systems, which replaced the city's paper application. CALGreen requires covered projects to recycle or salvage at least 65 percent of their nonhazardous construction and demolition debris. Residential new construction, demolition of a permitted structure and permitted additions or alterations all fall in scope, and on the non-residential side so do new construction, demolition and permitted additions or alterations of 1,000 square feet or more.

With a new purchase

Rent a temporary dumpster or roll-off from EDCO

A household or contractor with a remodel, cleanup or landscaping job that generates more than the carts and the bulky pickup can take.

Cost & conditions
EDCO quotes its own prices for a temporary three cubic yard dumpster and for roll-off boxes and gives a free estimate, and the city publishes no rate, so ask EDCO at 562-531-3054 for the price.
Arrange it
Call EDCO at 562-531-3054 to order the container, have it delivered to the property, and call again when the work is finished so it can be collected.

EDCO is the only company in Lakewood with the Los Angeles County encroachment permit that allows a dumpster to be placed in the street, and hazardous waste, asphalt shingles, clay roof tile, ceiling tile, yard waste and painted or treated wood are not accepted in the material its recycling facilities sort.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Self-hauling in Lakewood means driving to the EDCO transfer station at 2755 California Avenue in Signal Hill, which takes large and oversized amounts of brick, used lumber and other material that will not fit the carts or ride the bulky pickup, plus large amounts of clean green waste that can be recycled into mulch and carries a dumping fee. Waste disposal runs Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., the redemption value buy-back runs Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the household hazardous waste, electronic waste and sharps drop-off runs on designated Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with no charge and with the 2026 and 2027 dates printed by the city. A mattress or other bulky item is free on the curbside route for a single-family residence, so the transfer station is the paid path for an apartment or condominium household or for oversize material. Construction is regulated separately: a covered project files a Debris Recovery Plan through GreenHalo, has to recycle or salvage at least 65 percent of its nonhazardous debris, and can only use EDCO or self-haul with its own vehicles, which needs the current vehicle registration, current vehicle insurance and a photo of the vehicle with the license plate visible.

EDCO transfer station and recycling facility for large loads, oversize material and green waste

EDCO Signal Hill transfer station and recycling facility

2755 California Avenue, Signal Hill, CA 90755

Large and oversized amounts of brick, used lumber and other material that cannot go in the residential trash, recycling or green waste carts or be left for a bulky item pickup, and large amounts of clean green waste, which can be recycled into mulch. The site is also a California redemption value buy-back facility for aluminum cans and CRV glass and plastic beverage containers, and takes donation value paper, cardboard and non-CRV household containers.

The transfer station is not the free route for a household item that fits the bulky pickup, and a dumping fee may apply to green waste and to other dumped loads. The city asks residents to call EDCO on 562-597-0608 before visiting to confirm the accepted items, the hours and the fees.

Waste disposal Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with the CRV buy-back Tuesday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the household hazardous waste and e-waste drop-off on designated Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The city publishes no gate rate for the transfer station and says a dumping fee may apply to green waste, so ask EDCO at 562-597-0608 for the price of the load before hauling it.

Before you book

A few things
worth knowing.

Construction debris removal, from choosing your item to pickup day in Lakewood.

How much does construction debris removal cost in Lakewood?

Pricing is per accepted item. A detached door is $99 as a single item, an ordinary toilet is $79, and a small bathroom vanity is $99. Larger vanities have their own choices. Select the listed items to see the exact combined price. These prices do not cover mixed rubble or loose building materials. Loading, transportation and disposal are included; applicable sales tax appears before payment.

Can I get same-day toilet or vanity pickup in Lakewood?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Checkout shows the dates you can choose. Arrange disconnection, removal and the move outside first, then have the fixture ready by the time in your confirmation. We text you before arrival and provide pickup photos when it is done.

Will you disconnect a sink or take a door off its hinges?

The fixture must already be detached, disconnected and accessible outside at ground level. Arrange plumbing, electrical work, removal from walls or hinges, and indoor carrying before pickup. Dropcurb handles loading and haul-away from your outdoor pickup spot.

Can I add bags of drywall, tile or other demolition waste?

Mixed drywall, tile, concrete, lumber and demolition rubble are not accepted. This page offers pickup for the listed doors, toilets and bathroom vanities that are already removed. Do not book loose building materials as household trash bags or as an extra item. Arrange suitable disposal for those materials with your contractor or a debris specialist.

Can a door, toilet and vanity go in the same pickup?

Yes. Add each listed fixture separately and choose the correct vanity size. Each detached door panel counts as one item. The combined price appears before you book. Keep the fixtures together outside, separate from anything staying, and add a location photo on your order page.

Who can haul construction debris in Lakewood?

EDCO is the city's franchise waste hauler and the only waste hauler allowed in Lakewood, so a project orders its container from EDCO at 562-531-3054. A property owner or construction contractor may also self-haul with their own vehicles, which requires the current vehicle registration, current vehicle insurance and a photo of the vehicle with the license plate visible. Covered projects also file a Debris Recovery Plan through GreenHalo and have to recycle or salvage at least 65 percent of their nonhazardous debris.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Lakewood?

EDCO Waste Services is the city's franchise hauler for trash, recycling, green waste, bulky item pickup and the temporary dumpsters, and questions about a missed collection, a cart or a pickup go to EDCO at 562-531-3054 from Monday to Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. or Saturday between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. The City of Lakewood Public Works refuse team can be reached at 562-866-9771, and the city runs the recycling rules and programs.Official guidance

When does a Lakewood project need a Debris Recovery Plan?

The city may require a Debris Recovery Plan before issuing a permit for residential new construction, demolition of a permitted structure, or a permitted addition or alteration, and for non-residential new construction, demolition, or a permitted addition or alteration of 1,000 square feet or more. The plan is filed online through GreenHalo Waste Tracking Systems, CALGreen requires at least 65 percent of the nonhazardous debris to be recycled or salvaged, and the GreenHalo system is free unless the project pays to have weight receipts uploaded.Official guidance
