NOVEL CORONAVIRUS UPDATE SERVICES PROVIDED BY LIVERMORE SANITATION:

Currently, scheduled collection services are not affected.

Please check back here for any updates or changes to this schedule.

As an essential service, the employees at Livermore Sanitation (LSI) will continue to work to provide the collection and processing of garbage, recyclables and organics for the City of Livermore. As we navigate this challenging time, help us continue to provide safe and efficient services. Thank you for your efforts.

KEEP OUR DRIVERS SAFE: properly sort your materials, make sure your container lids close to prevent overflow and litter, bag waste that may have bodily fluids on it and place in the gray garbage containers.

KEEP OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND BILLING STAFF SAFE, USE OUR WEBSITE TO: contact us, fill out service forms, get collection schedule information, set up or use your online account (select the red “Account login” button) to pay your bill, and more.

KEEP OUR NON-DRIVER STAFF SAFE: site visits shall be limited to essential purposes only (for example, following up on a safety issue). Site audits and instructional site visits and similar where non-essential interaction with customer staff or other members of the public is required are suspended until further notice.

We will continue to “roll on” to support our customers. Together we can stay safe and get through this!

 

RESIDENTIAL CUSTOMERS:

Please have your containers ready for service between the hours of 6:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. on your regular collection day. If your containers are not serviced on their regularly scheduled day, we will return on the next service day. For health and safety, please make sure your collection containers lids close and bag all bathroom waste and any products containing bodily fluids and place in the garbage container.

The National Avenue location access to the public is discouraged so as to limit direct interaction. Please contact us by email or phone to arrange payment. We encourage you to use/create an online account to make payments or make service changes. Click here to access or create an online account.

Commercial container changes will be limited for the near-term, but we will honor service changes on the customer’s account.
