Lakewood City Hall will be closed the week of Dec. 26-30.
DASH Transit service will continue as usual on weekdays, as the Christmas and New Year's holidays fall on a weekend.
For the two holiday weeks of Dec. 26 and Jan. 2:
Trash pickup will continue as usual, as Christmas and New Year's Day fall on Sundays.
Street sweeping in residential areas will occur as normal from Dec. 27-30 and Jan. 3-6, but see parking enforcement changes below.
No street sweeping on Dec. 26 and Jan. 2, and no makeup sweeps for those two days.
Parking enforcement
There will be NO street sweeping-related parking enforcement on Dec. 23 and during the weeks of Dec. 26-30 and Jan. 2-6 in order to accommodate school closures and the large number of people home during those weeks.
However, if you can, please move your vehicles off the street during street-sweeping hours to help your street get the cleanest possible sweep.
Parking enforcement will continue for non-street-sweeping related violations, such as parking in red zones or blocking sidewalks.
Christmas tree pickup
EDCO will pick up discarded Christmas trees left on your parkway or next to the curb on your regular trash collection day for the two weeks following Christmas, Dec. 26-30 and Jan. 2-6.
Flocked trees are OK.
Decorations, tinsel and metal or plastic stands must be removed.
Wooden tree stands can be left on the tree.
The tree must not be in a bag.
Trees over six feet tall must be cut in half.
For disposal of trees after the curbside time period:
Cut up your tree so it fits with the lid closed when placed in the appropriate cart:
Unflocked trees: Put in green waste cart.
Flocked trees: Put in regular trash cart (flocked trees can't be recycled).
Extra trash service
From Dec. 26-30, the week immediately following Christmas, EDCO will pick up extra holiday trash on your trash pickup day.
Use your existing carts as much as possible, but you can also leave up to 10 standard-size trash bags about two feet from your cart for pickup.
Holiday and appliance boxes may be left near your cart as well.
There is no charge for this extra service and no need to call EDCO in advance.
Bulky Item Pickup
No bulky item pickup service from Dec. 26 to Jan. 6. The service starts again on Monday, Jan. 9.
To use it, call EDCO at 562-531-3054 by 3:30 p.m. at least one day before your normal trash day.
