What to know before you book
Loading tip: the low walls mean you can carry, not throw. Break furniture down, slide sheet goods flat along the bottom, and a 10 yard takes more than the specs suggest.

Woodland Hills placement rules
Woodland Hills sits inside the City of Los Angeles, so if your dumpster needs to go on a public street, sidewalk, or parkway - common on the narrow hillside lanes south of Ventura Boulevard where driveways are short or steep - you'll need a street-use permit from StreetsLA (Bureau of Street Services) under LAMC Section 62.45, which covers materials and equipment placed in the public right-of-way, with fees based on the square footage occupied. If the roll-off sits entirely on your own property, such as a driveway on a flat lot near Warner Center or Woodland Hills' ranch-home flats, no city permit is required. Street-placement permits are issued through StreetsLA at bsspermits.lacity.org or by calling (213) 847-6000.
Asked constantly
Is my driveway safe?
Yes - boards under the rails on request, free, and drivers set the box on the flattest span to spread the load.
How long do I get the box?
Seven days standard. Running long? One call extends it at a flat daily rate - no penalty, no drama.
What does a 10 yard actually hold?
Three pickup loads, give or take: one room's remodel debris, a garage's clutter, or about 30 squares of shingles.
