LA County Public Works coordinates franchise haulers including Athens Services, Republic Services, and Waste Management to slide trash, recycling, and organics pickup one day later for the rest of the week after six observed holidays: New Year's, Memorial, Independence, Labor, Thanksgiving, Christmas.
Title 12.84 grants LA County Public Works oversight of franchise hauler operations in unincorporated areas. Athens Services, Republic Services, Waste Management, and other franchisees publish coordinated holiday schedules: pickup slides one calendar day later for the remainder of the week after six observed holidays — New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. A Monday holiday means Monday customers go Tuesday, Tuesday goes Wednesday, and so on through Saturday. Christmas tree pickup runs January 1 through January 15 with trees placed at the curb under six feet, free of stands, lights, and flocking. Bulky-item appointments resume the next business day. Contract cities follow their own schedules.
Setting carts out before holiday slide-day or leaving non-conforming Christmas trees over six feet, with stands or flocking, after January 15 results in non-collection, posted notices, and potential property-maintenance citations under Title 12.84 if uncorrected.
