2013 Clean-Up Saturdays Program
2009 Clean-Up Saturdays Schedule Spring is just
around the corner!

Plan ahead for the
2013 Clean-Up Saturdays Program
Check out this year's reminder notice here.


The Clean-Up Saturdays program is an annual "Spring Cleaning" event held in April and May. The program is open to single-family residential customers with individual containers serviced by our franchise waste hauler, Athens Services. (Businesses, apartments, and L.A. County unincorporated areas are not included).

The program provides for the unlimited disposal of household waste (not including hazardous waste, electronic waste, or others noted). All items should be placed at the curb no later than 6:00 a.m. on your designated Saturday. Items placed after this time might not be picked-up.

Vegetation and branches must be cut to no longer than 4 feet and bound together in manageable bundles.
