At Prime Dumpster, we provide roll-off dumpster rentals in the Cerritos, California area and across southeast Los Angeles County in sizes from 10 to 40 yards. Kitchen and bath remodels in the city's well-kept tract homes, garage and estate cleanouts, and commercial and construction work near the freeway corridors keep containers in steady demand.
The cost of a rental depends on container size, debris type, how long you keep it, and local disposal fees. Cerritos also has a strict franchise rule for trash bins, so we'll explain that first, along with street permits, California's disposal bans, and the City's recycling rule for construction debris.

The most important thing to know in Cerritos isn't a price. The City runs trash bin service through an exclusive franchise with one contracted hauler, and its trash bin permit page says no other contractor may provide trash bin rentals inside the city. Before anything is booked, your account manager will confirm how that rule applies to your address and project.
For jobs we can serve in the surrounding area, size comes first. A bigger container costs more, but it can save you from paying for a second haul.
Weight matters next. Roof tear-offs, tile, stucco, and concrete are heavy, and disposal is charged by weight, so they use up the included tonnage fast.
Street placement adds a City fee. The City's Master Fee Schedule lists a Trash Bin Permit at $50 for residents and non-residents alike. A driveway placement needs no permit.

Think about the volume of debris and how heavy it is. Prime Dumpster rents five sizes, from 10 to 40 yards.
The 10-Yard Dumpster is enough for a small bathroom, a spare room cleanout, or yard trimmings. It's also right for concrete, pavers, and brick, since heavy debris hits the weight limit before the container is full.
The 15-Yard Dumpster covers a garage cleanout, new flooring, or a roof tear-off on a smaller home.
The 20-Yard Dumpster suits a whole-home cleanout or a remodel that reaches several rooms.
The 30-Yard Dumpster handles large renovations, room additions, and new construction.
The 40-Yard Dumpster is our largest size, meant for commercial projects and big demolition jobs.
Your account manager can recommend a size once they know the scope of your job.
A trash bin on private property, such as your driveway, doesn't need a City permit. A bin placed on a residential street does.
The Cerritos Public Works Department issues the Trash Bin Permit. It costs $50 and lets a bin stay on a residential street for up to seven days, and the City will extend it for another seven days at no charge. Call Public Works at 562-916-1220 to apply.
Storage containers follow a different rule. The City allows a storage container in a front yard for up to 72 hours, and it can sit on a residential street only while it's being loaded or unloaded, never overnight.
The City doesn't publish a review time for the bin permit, so call early. Your account manager can help you reach the right City office and confirm how the franchise rule affects your plans.
Most construction and cleanout debris is fine. The limits come from California's rules on hazardous waste and from the facility that takes the load.
CalRecycle says it's illegal to dispose of hazardous waste in the garbage. That covers batteries and fluorescent and LED lights, paint and solvents, pool and garden chemicals, antifreeze, motor oil and tires, asbestos, treated wood, gas cylinders, electronics, and anything with mercury.
The City's bulky item program won't take construction material, tires, or car and boat parts either. Residents can drop off batteries and fluorescent bulbs at no charge at E-Recycling of California, 7230 Petterson Lane in Paramount, and the City points people to household hazardous waste roundups for the rest.
Check with your account manager about anything you're unsure of before it goes in.
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.
Cerritos treats construction debris as something to recycle, not just throw away. The City's construction and demolition program requires projects to recycle or reuse at least half of their waste, and builders list the facility used for each material on a Waste Management Plan.
Using the City's franchise hauler meets that recycling rule automatically. If anyone else hauls the debris from a project of 900 square feet or more, the City requires a refundable performance security deposit, and it returns the deposit within 30 days of receiving the final paperwork. The packet includes a Los Angeles County list of approved construction debris recycling facilities.
For you, that means planning disposal before the first wall comes down. Your account manager will confirm whether we can serve your project under the City's rules and, if so, where the load will go and what the disposal fees are.
Where we can serve your project, most rentals can be scheduled within one to two business days, with delivery in a 24 to 48 hour window. In Cerritos, the first step is always checking the franchise rule for your address.
Tips for a smooth start:
If a bin does go on the street, keep an eye on the seven-day permit and ask Public Works for the free extension before it runs out.
Client ReviewsPrime Dumpster serves southeast Los Angeles County and the nearby Orange County line, including the communities around Cerritos such as Artesia, Lakewood, Hawaiian Gardens, La Palma, and Buena Park, plus Norwalk, Bellflower, Cypress, and La Mirada. For any job inside Cerritos itself, your account manager will first confirm how the City's franchise applies.
Tell us about your project and your zip code. We'll check the local rules for your address first, then help you choose a size and give you a clear price.
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.
Our prices range from $399 to $499 for a 10-yard dumpster up to $699 to $899 for a 40-yard dumpster, based on a five-day rental. In Cerritos, the City's exclusive franchise for trash bins comes first, so your account manager will confirm how that rule applies before quoting.
For big jobs, a container is usually the easier and cheaper choice. Hauling debris yourself means disposal fees on every trip, plus fuel and hours of your time. On projects of 900 square feet or more, the City's recycling rules and deposit also apply to anyone hauling debris outside the franchise.
Yes. A three-seat couch takes up about a fifth of a 10-yard dumpster, so there's still room for a mattress, a table and chairs, and boxes. Furniture is bulky but not heavy, so space runs out before weight becomes a concern.
Leave out hazardous waste, including batteries, fluorescent bulbs, paint, solvents, pool chemicals, pesticides, motor oil, antifreeze, tires, asbestos, treated wood, gas cylinders, and electronics. California makes it illegal to put these in the trash. Your account manager can point you to drop-off options.
The 10-yard dumpster is our lowest-priced size, at $399 to $499. Weight still decides the final bill, so heavy debris like tile or concrete can push a small container over its limit. Keeping it on your driveway also avoids the City's street permit.
A three-day rental generally costs the same as our five-day rental, since we price by the job, not the day. The weight of your debris matters more than the length of the rental. Ask your account manager about included tonnage and the City's franchise rule for your address.
Most household and building debris is allowed, including lumber, drywall, stucco, roofing, flooring, cabinets, furniture, and yard waste. Concrete and brick can go in too, but they're heavy, so a smaller container is best. Your account manager can confirm anything you're unsure about.
