Regular Trash Pick Up Services

LA Sanitation collects trash in the Los Angeles area from four automated trash bins; black (for household waste), blue (for recyclables), green (for yard trimmings), and brown (for horse manure). Bins are picked up on scheduled collection days. They must be placed at the curb by 6:00am and removed no later than 8:00pm on the day of collection.

Large & Abandoned Trash Pick Up Services

LASAN will pick up items too large for a normal trash bin free of charge. These include items like beds, couches, and fridges. If you find these items abandoned on the street, please report it, and LASAN will pick them up for free too.

LASAN does not collect automotive parts, construction material, commercial waste or cardboard.
