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.

For questions or requests regarding trash and disposal services, contact EDCO Disposal at 562-531-3054.

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.
