Collection

LA Sanitation (LASAN) collects over one million tons of refuse annually from 750,000 customers including single and small multi-family residences. Container and field repairs are conducted for over 750 customers per day. In addition, LASAN's container rollout program includes systematic replacement of refuse containers that have exceeded their life expectancy.   

 

LA Sanitation also provides specialized services such as: 

  • Collection of white goods
  • On-call bulky item collection
  • Seasonal bulky brush collection
  • Other specialized collection services

 

LASAN operates the City-owned Central Los Angeles Refuse Transfer Station (CLARTS) to reduce contractual costs to manage and transport materials to recycling and disposal facilities.
