Lynwood has an exclusive solid-waste franchise; the City Council approved WM (Waste Management) to provide all residential and commercial collection, taking over from prior hauler Waste Resources. Service is weekly using city-provided carts on your assigned day.
Under LMC Section 9-1.6 the City Council may grant an exclusive franchise for garbage and rubbish collection. Per the City of Lynwood, WM (Waste Management) received approval to provide all solid waste services, including billing, for residential and commercial customers, taking over from Waste Resources using the same containers, days, and rates. Residential service is weekly. Each residential customer gets a green cart for tree trimmings and grass clippings and a gray cart for trash and recyclables (sorted at a materials recovery facility); SB 1383 requires separate handling of organics. Section 9-1.8 requires refuse set out to originate from the premises, and Section 9-1.3 prohibits burying garbage. WM customer service for Lynwood is (310) 366-7600.
Using a hauler other than the exclusive franchisee, setting out waste that did not originate from the premises (Section 9-1.8), or burying garbage (Section 9-1.3) violates the code and is enforceable by the city.
