City of West Hollywood Shares Holiday Trash and Recycling Updates

Holiday Collection Schedules and Tips for Tree Recycling in the City 

The City of West Hollywood is reminding residents about adjustments to trash and recycling services during the holiday season. 

Athens Services, the city’s solid waste hauler, will not collect trash on Christmas Day, Wednesday, Dec. 25, 2024, or New Year’s Day, Wednesday, Jan. 1, 2025. Trash collection services will resume one day later than the regular schedule for the remainder of those weeks.

Residents can recycle holiday trees through Athens Services on regular pickup days from Thursday, Dec. 26, 2024, through Saturday, Jan. 11, 2025. To ensure collection:

  • Remove stands, ornaments, lights, and tinsel.
  • Place trees at the curb.
  • Cut trees longer than six feet in half.
  • Do not place trees in plastic bags, as they can damage chipping equipment.
  • Trees treated with flocking or fire retardants will not be accepted.

After Jan. 11, trees must be cut up and placed in yard waste containers for disposal.

Residents are encouraged to recycle gift boxes, wrapping paper, and other paper packaging with their regular paper and cardboard recycling.

For electronics being replaced during the holidays, residents can:

  • Take items to the UCLA S.A.F.E. Drop-Off Center by calling 1-800-773-2489 for more information.
  • Schedule an e-waste pickup with Athens Services by visiting the city’s Trash and Recycling page at weho.org/trash-recycling.

Bulky items, such as refrigerators or carpeting, can be picked up at no charge, with a limit of two items. To schedule a pickup, call Athens Services at (888) 336-6100.

For households generating more trash than usual, Athens Services offers extra trash and recycling services. Residents should avoid placing excess trash or recycling on the ground and instead contact Athens Services to schedule additional bin pickups.

For more details or to arrange extra services, contact Athens Services’ Customer Service Office at (888) 336-6100. For those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, dial 711 or 1-800-735-2929 (TTY) for California Relay Service assistance.
