What is Changing?

The Lomita City Council recently adopted changes effective April 1, 2026, to:

  • Expand solid waste collection from three to five days per week
  • Update the street sweeping maps

Background

In response to growing operational challenges, residential complaints and the need to meet regulatory stormwater discharge requirements, Lomita is updating the street sweeping and trash collection schedule and routes.

Key reasons for updating the program include:

  • Reducing trash and debris in City streets
  • Meeting City Council policy requiring all streets to be posted and swept at least twice per month
  • Complying with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) and the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit requirements
  • Minimizing impacts to residents and improving parking availability whenever feasible

Frequently Asked Questions

Residential concerns have increased, particularly related to scheduling conflicts between solid waste collection and street sweeping, excessive debris in the streets and limited parking during sweeping hours.

Currently, 95 streets remain unposted, resulting in inconsistent coverage, as sweepers can service these locations only when time and parking conditions allow. Additional challenges include trash bins blocking street sweepers and inefficient routes caused by uncoordinated street additions.

No, there is no price increase associated with the schedule and route changes noted above.

The new schedules are now in effect, as of Wednesday, April 1.

If there happens to be a 5th week in the month, there will be no street sweeping on either side of the street that week.

The regular schedule will resume the first week of the following month.

If a holiday falls on your scheduled trash collection day, service will be delayed by one day. However, if the holiday falls on a Friday, collection will occur the following Monday.

Street sweeping takes place only on the days indicated on posted signage. If a scheduled sweeping falls on a holiday, it will be canceled and will resume on the next regularly scheduled sweeping day.

According to Athens Services’ contract with Lomita, trash bins must be placed three feet from any other obstruction, including parked cars. Additionally, bins must have one foot between other bins to allow for proper servicing.

If this distance is not met, trash may not get picked up on your typical service day.

Yes. The grace period is now in effect.

During this transition, we acknowledge the potential inconvenience of missed or delayed service. Please contact Athens Services Customer Care Center at (888) 336-6100 with any missed bins or sweeping areas and your questions about the new program. They are open Mondays-Fridays from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m.-12 p.m.

If you have any additional questions, please call (310) 325-7110 or direct your email to PublicWorks@lomitacity.com for street sweeping-related questions and to SafetyDivision@lomitacity.com for parking-related questions.
