Private companies are improperly operating trash trucks in the
alley between Pico Blvd. and Almayo Ave.
The trucks
pick up trash from businesses located on Pico, and have routinely
been doing so at 3 or 4 a.m. in violation of the Los Angeles
Municipal Code’s Noise Ordinance (LAMC Section 113.01), which
prohibits trash collection “within 200 feet of any residential
building between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the
following day…”
The Board has
sent testimonials from neighbors of the illegal activity, as well as
the above cite from the Municipal Code, to CD5 Chief Deputy
Susan Bursk, who runs Councilman Weiss’ Westside office.
Susan has a history of providing excellent cooperation with the 7260
Board’s efforts to protect the quality of life in our neighborhood.
We intend to vigorously pursue cessation of this illegal activity,
and will continue to use all means at our disposal to compel these
private trash collection companies to obey the law.
