Los Angeles County is offering free tree debris pickup in La Crescenta, Altadena and Kinneloa Mesa. They're offering fewer collection sites than previously available.
L.A. County advises residents to continuing using large green waste bins for small debris and to contact whoever's normally responsible for waste collection to pick up additional debris, according to a press release. Property owners are responsible for debris not in the public right of way.
Pickup sites:
La Crescenta
Location: Crescenta Valley Regional Park, 3901 Dunsmore Ave., La Crescenta
Date: Saturday Dec 17, 7 a.m. to 4p.m.
Altadena and Kinneloa Mesa
Location: Charles Farnsworth Park (lower parking area), 568 East Mount Curve Ave, Altadena
Date: Saturday Dec 17, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.
You can also call L.A. County's trash collection hotline at (800) 993-5844 for more information.
