Real reviews from Los Angeles customers

β€œI used Zippy Dumpster for a rental house clean up in Lancaster. The 6 yard Bin was delivered same day with the lowest price of all companies I called. Their customer service was extremely helpful in extending the rental a few days. I strongly recommend Zippy for all property clean ups.”

β€œ"As a property manager, I rely on California Waste Services L.A. to handle waste management for multiple properties. Their team is efficient, and they make the process seamless. I appreciate their attention to detail and their willingness to accommodate our specific needs."”

β€œThey’re amazing! They’re always very professional and timely. They always work with us and our needs. I’ve rented probably 7-8 dumpsters in the last 3 months and I won’t go to anyone else. They’re the best in the business! They make everything so easy for us clients.”
