Leaf Season is Amongst Us....
The public works department is asking that constituents take note of the following information, which will allow for our city departments to work as efficiently and effectively when cleaning up our community:

  • Avoid piling leaves or other debris in the street, alley or gutter. Street sweepers have difficulty removing piles of debris;
  • Do not rake, blow or sweep leaves or other debris into the street, alley or gutter. This is a violation of Long Beach Municipal Code 8.60.111;
  • Dispose of litter properly, keeping it out of gutters and alleys;
  • Keep the street in front of your home dry on street sweeping days. While sweepers do spray a fine mist to minimize airborne dust, street sweepers are not as effective when the street is overly wet and,
  • Never pour oil, antifreeze or any other hazardous materials in the street, gutter, alley or on the ground. Residents can call 562 570-2876 for information related to the proper disposal of these materials.
