Los Angeles had another busy weekend of cleanup and repairs, with city crews and volunteers working side by side to improve streets, parks, and neighborhoods. From filling potholes in Council District 10 to removing trash and bulky items in South LA, the Department of Public Works was hard at work making the city cleaner and safer.
As part of Mayor Karen Bass’ efforts to beautify LA, she hosted the second Service Day LA, bringing together more than 200 volunteers in South LA to clean parks, streets, and local businesses. Volunteers helped pick up trash, plant trees, and improve public spaces, making a visible difference in their community. Sanitation crews also stepped in, clearing 53 unreported locations of illegally dumped bulky items and collecting 3.67 tons of trash, including the bags filled by volunteers.
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Street Services focused on filling potholes in Council District 10, improving road conditions and making travel smoother for drivers. Keeping up with pothole repairs helps prevent further damage and extends the lifespan of city streets.
Lastly, following the LA Marathon, cleanup crews moved quickly to restore city streets, removing debris and temporary signage to return the roads to normal for residents and businesses.
This weekend’s efforts show the power of teamwork between city agencies and the community. Whether it’s through major events like Service Day LA or everyday maintenance work, keeping Los Angeles clean is a shared effort. Residents can do their part by reporting potholes, illegal dumping, or graffiti to help keep LA looking its best. With continued collaboration, the city is on its way to a cleaner, safer, and more vibrant future.
