Long Beach, CA - Long Beach residents with City-serviced refuse accounts may experience delays in their regularly scheduled refuse collection. The City of Long Beach Department of Public Works is currently experiencing significant challenges due to staffing shortages, such as illness, vacancies and injuries. Recycling collection is not impacted at this time. City-serviced refuse customers in the following areas may be temporarily impacted:
- Ocean Boulevard to 7th Street from Alamitos Avenue to Temple Avenue
- Atlantic Avenue to Pine from 10th Street to PCH
- Pine Avenue to Golden Avenue from Broadway to Anaheim Street
- Cherry Avenue to Nebraska Avenue from 7th Street to 4th Street
City refuse customers are advised to leave their refuse carts or bins out for service if they are not collected on the regularly scheduled day. Every effort will be made to collect carts on the following service day; if collection does not occur on the following day, residents may call 562.570.2876 and a collection will be scheduled.
The City is working to resolve this issue through a variety of operational and administrative adjustments that aim to minimize service disruptions.
