Animal Services
General Info:
If you find a pet and are able to catch the animal and keep it safe. Take it to a local vet to see if it has a micro chip. The closest vet is Olympic Pet Hospital who will scan during regular business hours (please note they are closed on the weekends). There are other vets in the area, but this is the closest.

Olympic Pet Hospital

​
Pawboost and NextDoor are great free resources for telling the neighborhood you have either Found or Lost a Pet. Pawboost will create a digital flyer for you to either print or share on other social media sites such as NextDoor, Facebook, Instagram, etc.. Pawboost has been called the "Amber Alert for lost pets" anyone signed up for notifications in the area they have specified receives an alert if a pet has been lost or found.
​
LA Animal Services also has a registration for found pets if you are willing to hold onto the pet vs turning it into the shelter. Here is the link to read more about the program.

Trash Can Repair or Replacement:
You will email, san.callcenter@lacity.org with your Address, Trash Can issue and Serial Number. If your trash can can be repaired they would prefer to repair vs replace.

To remove these bulky items from your curbside, please call the LASAN Customer Care Center at 1-800-773-2489 at least one business day before your regular collection day.

When it comes to disposing of Hazardous Materials, LA Sanitation (LASAN) has established a number of permanent collection sites throughout the City, known as S.A.F.E. Centers. These S.A.F.E.

Centers, LASAN sponsors periodic Mobile Collection Events throughout the City where residents can drop off their HHW to be disposed of properly.
