Please Recycle

Let's keep our alley ways clean and do not leave bulky items around. This encourages vagrancy and as they say "leave a couch in the alley, someone will sleep on it". Then when they wake up they will need to ..... oh no there is NO Public Toilet ...... health hazard?

Bulky Item Collection

We encourage you to recycle your bulky items through charitable organizations and thrift stores. However, if you are unable to do so, the Bureau of Sanitation (BOS) will pick-up your large or bulky household items, such as mattresses, couches, and other furnitures from all residents serviced by the City of Los Angeles free of charge.
