Your cooperation is requested regarding bulky items and recycling. Abandoned bulky items are an unsightly nuisance that degrades the quality of life for residents and visitors of El Segundo. Leaving bulky items occurs more frequently on multi-family properties as residents and tenants move in and out throughout the year, often discarding items (used furniture, mattresses, appliances, etc.) on or around the premises in the process.

On September 15, 2020, the El Segundo City Council adopted an Ordinance amending Title 5, Chapter 2 of El Segundo Municipal Code (ESMC) to require bulky items and holiday tree pickup service for multi-family (three or more units) properties. The ordinance will take effect on October 15, 2020.
The hauler is required to provide each commercial and multi-family premises it serves with the collection containers necessary to comply with, implement, and achieve State and local diversion and recycling goals: gray for trash, blue for recycling, green for organics/compost (Ordinance No. 1619 and AB 1826). Each container will display the name and telephone number of the permitted hauler. The commercial/multi-family solid waste hauler is required to provide on-call bulky item pickup service to multi-family customers at a frequency that is commensurate with the number of units in the multi-family premises served.
Additionally, the hauler is required to, at no additional charge (i.e., as an included component of its basic service), collect, transport and recycle all holiday trees which are placed curbside at any multi-family premises served by the permittee during the period beginning on December 26 and ending at 2:00 p.m. on the second Saturday in January.
If you have questions, please contact your hauler directly. For your convenience, please see on the back of this letter the list of City-permitted haulers that are authorized to serve your property/business.
