Street sweeping and trash day in Los Angeles: find yours by address

Updated 25 October 2026

Modeled estimates for general information only — not measurements, not a guarantee, and not for legal, medical or real-estate decisions.

You can find a street’s sweeping day and time, and the weekday of City trash collection, on the Quiet LA map: select a place and read the block headed “What wakes you up early?”. The official sources are the City’s Bureau of Street Services (StreetsLA), LA Sanitation and Environment (LASAN) and, in unincorporated areas, County Public Works. Check the posted signs on your street.

These are schedules from official records, not modeled noise. They are not in any noise value on the map.

Checked 25 October 2026. The map shows the schedules as the agencies published them. Routes change, so the map prints the date of its source under the block. It refreshes the schedules monthly.

How do I find my street sweeping day and trash day in Los Angeles?

On the Quiet LA map. Search an address or select a place. The block “What wakes you up early?” has two rows, “Street sweeping” and “Trash day”, with one dated source line under them.
City of Los Angeles sweeping. StreetsLA publishes the posted sweeping routes. Use the lookup on its website.
City of Los Angeles trash. LASAN publishes the collection day for City-collected homes. Use the collection day lookup on its website.
Unincorporated County areas. County Public Works publishes its own street sweeping routes.
Other cities. A city outside Los Angeles has its own sweeping and trash schedule. The map does not cover it.

How do I see my schedule on the Quiet LA map?

Open the map and search an address, or tap a place.
In the place panel, find the block “What wakes you up early?”.
Read “Street sweeping”: the day, the time window, the odd or even side of the street when they differ, and the weeks of the month when the route runs only some weeks.
Read “Trash day”: the weekday of City trash collection.
Read the source line for the date of the schedule, then look at the sign on your street.

The sweeping row shows the posted route nearest the place you selected. On a corner or a short block, that may be the route of the next street, so compare it with the sign. Outside coverage the block says: “Schedules cover the City of Los Angeles and unincorporated County areas.”

How do I read a street sweeping schedule?

A City posted route has four parts, as StreetsLA publishes them (checked 25 October 2026).

Day. The weekday on the sign. Downtown routes run Monday to Friday or in the small hours.
Time window. For example 8 am to 10 am. Some routes have no fixed time and read “As Available”.
Weeks of the month. The 1st and 3rd weeks, the 2nd and 4th weeks, or every week.
Side of the street. Odd or even addresses. The two sides can have different days.

The County data has a weekday, a time window and a frequency: weekly, twice monthly or as needed. Each segment also has a “posted” flag, which says whether the segment has posted signs. The map shows the schedule of a segment marked not posted and labels it “not posted”; a segment swept “as needed” shows no fixed day.

What does “trash day” mean on the map?

It is the weekday of residential refuse collection for the district your place is in, from LASAN’s Solids Collection Service District Days. It applies to City-collected homes only. The data has no collection hours, so the map shows a weekday and no time.

Some areas inside the City boundary read “No Serviced Day”. They are served by other cities or by private haulers, whose days can differ. If your building uses a private hauler, ask the building.

Why do sweepers and trash trucks matter for sound?

Street sweepers and collection trucks work at set times, often early in the morning, and a posted window can start before many people wake up. That is why the block is called “What wakes you up early?”.

The map does not model these sounds. They are not in any noise value. Its noise values are modeled estimates of road, train and aircraft sound, plus optional siren estimates. See the noise map by address, what the levels mean and Limits.

Does the map decide where I can park?

No. The map is not a parking authority. The signs on the street govern parking, and the schedules in the map can be out of date or can belong to a nearby street. Check the posted signs on your street.

Where do the schedules come from?

From three official layers, checked 25 October 2026.

StreetsLA, Posted Street Sweeping Routes. 871 routes. The layer was updated 19 October 2026, and the service describes itself as “as of July 2026”.
LASAN, Solids Collection Service District Days. The weekday of collection by district.
County Public Works, street sweeping routes. 27,849 street segments in unincorporated areas. The layer was last edited 14 October 2026.

The map keeps schedule fields and shapes only. The layers hold no names and no personal data. The data is used as published and refreshed monthly. For how the rest of the map is made, see How it’s made and Sources & methods.

Common questions

How do I find my street sweeping schedule in Los Angeles?

Select your place on the Quiet LA map and read the “Street sweeping” row in “What wakes you up early?”. It shows the day, the time window, the side of the street and the weeks of the month from the posted route nearest the place. Confirm it on the sign.

What day is trash day at my address?

For a City-collected home, the “Trash day” row shows the weekday from LASAN’s district days. It shows no hour. A place served by another city or a private hauler can have a different day, and some areas inside the boundary read “No Serviced Day”.

Why are there two sweeping days for my street?

A City route is posted for the odd side or the even side of the street, and the two sides can have different days. Some routes also run only the 1st and 3rd weeks, or only the 2nd and 4th weeks, of the month. In places the City’s layer lists two overlapping routes for the same side, for example a Monday route and a Tuesday route; the map then shows both days on one line, as published. Confirm the day on the sign.

Does the map cover Pasadena, Santa Monica or other cities?

No. It covers the City of Los Angeles and unincorporated County areas. Elsewhere the block says: “Schedules cover the City of Los Angeles and unincorporated County areas.” Another city has its own schedule.

Are sweeping and trash days part of the noise numbers?

No. They are schedules from official records, and they are not in any noise value. The noise values are modeled estimates of road, train and aircraft sound, plus optional siren estimates.

Can I rely on the map for parking?

No. The map is not a parking authority, and routes change. The signs on your street govern parking. Check the posted signs on your street.
