The short answer
WM became Lynwood's trash hauler on May 1, 2026, replacing Waste Resources. WM's 2026 guide for businesses and multi-family complexes allows up to 5 items per pickup at no additional charge, but WM hasn't published single-family rules we could confirm. Book at least 48 hours before your service day.

When the city pickup doesn’t fit
The program works when the items are at the curb and can wait for the pickup day. If they're still inside, upstairs or in the backyard, you're over the limit, or you need them gone sooner, we carry them out and haul them away. Pricing starts at $190; see junk removal in Lynwood or single-item pickup.
