LAPD Apparently Tackled Cyclists While Riding in the Street
Spotted this sign near Olympic and Robertson. That's Beverly Hills Adjacent to peeps in the know and those who love real estate euphemisms. The street dumping of old furniture being a problem endemic to greater Los Angeles, we offer this information in the interest of neighborhood beautification.
The Los Angeles sanitation department will haul away all the battered, old mattresses you can soak in urine (as well as couches, Christmas trees and busted Ikea bookcases) for FREE if you only call and make an appointment. It takes about 10 minutes, and to make it even easier follow the directions below, so you can speed through the recorded messages.
NOTE: These are the English-language instructions.
1. Dial 800-773-CITY
2. Press 1 for English
3. Press 3 for bulky item pick-up
4. Press 5 for bulky item pick-up
5. Press 0 to talk to an operator
6. Someone will get your info and a pick-up will be arranged. You don't have to be present when the items are picked up.
As the author of this sign suggests, try it.

Just to let you know, you can report it by calling 3-1-1 just as easily - and you don't have to remember a long 800 number.
I've called bulky item pickup before, and they can take weeks before actually showing up to get the stuff. Maybe assuming the neighbor's a jackass says more about the signmaker?
LA doesn't pick up Christmas trees. And most of the sofas in my neighborhood end up being carted off for a new life, rather than taking up space in a landfill.
ahhhh so good to know everything's normal back in hollyweird. i miss you miscellaneous couches! xo LA.
I LOVE IT!! :)
That's just to funny. Guess the saying goes "love thy neighbor" :)
To the person who said it takes weeks - I've called bulky pick-up maybe 6-7-8 times, and every time they gave me a scheduled time they will come. My stuff has never just sit there for longer than a day.
I believe the person who left this crap is most likely a jackass.
Oh, c'mon.. Leave it for a couple of days so I have a chance to take a picture of it!
