These decisions were difficult to make, but the health and safety of our staff and attendees is our primary concern. We look forward to resuming these educational services when concerns have passed. In the meantime, services from LA Sanitation & Environment remain uninterrupted. Angelenos can expect continued solid waste collection service, including refuse, recycling, green waste, and bulky item collection. Our stormwater and wastewater services will continue as well. Our SAFE Centers will remain open during regularly scheduled hours. Please do not place household hazardous waste in the trash.

We remain committed to our mission of protecting public health and the environment. Thank you for your continued understanding and support. As always, we welcome you to call our 24-hour Customer Care Center at 1-800-773-2489 with any questions or concerns.

LA Sanitation & Environment holds six free Open Houses events each year, opening our district yards to the public. The Open House program showcases LA Sanitation’s residential curbside collection programs with an emphasis on proper recycling practices and bulky item collection while strengthening partnerships with City residents. Each Open House will feature trash trucks and equipment demonstrations in addition to facility tours, information booths, recycling games, and refreshments. In its 17th year, LASAN’s highly-anticipated open house events drew big crowds to its district yards. Nearly 7,000 attendees enjoyed trash trucks and equipment demonstrations last year in addition to facility tours, information booths, recycling games, and a free lunch. All children receive a special hat at registration and have the opportunity to operate the controls on the trucks. Parents go home with free shade trees and vegetable plants.There is no charge for admission and all ages are welcome, but we do request that pets be left at home for safety.  Free food, beverages, and giveaways are available while supplies last.
LA Sanitation’s Lopez Canyon Environmental Education Center will host an activity booth about the city’s green bin recycling program and give away small vegetable plants. Visitors will plant saplings to take home, use mulch and compost made from residential yard trimmings, and learn about “closed loop” recycling. More than 2,200 vegetable plants are potted and given away to residents each year. LA Sanitation also partners with “City Plants” to provide fruit and shade trees for adoption by city residents, on a first-come-served basis at each yard, while supplies last. (L.A. city residents must present valid identification with their city address or a current DWP bill to adopt a tree. Note: the limit is one tree per property address.) Used tires from city residents will also be collected for recycling, which is provided by a grant from CalRecycle. (L.A. city residents must present valid identification and a current DWP bill to drop off used tires. Note: a maximum of nine passenger and/or light truck tires will be accepted, but tires on rims and used tires from businesses will not be accepted.)
Robo Blue and our mascots will be on hand for photos, and our Environmental Learning Center (ELC) will have their photo booth for kids to enjoy.
