Lawndale City manager urges residents to report illegal dumping
Summary
Sean Moore, Lawndale City manager, urged residents to report dumped furniture and other debris — especially on Rosecrans and Hawthorne Boulevard — to the Public Works Department or City Hall so crews can remove it promptly; staff are available seven days a week.
Sean Moore, city manager for Lawndale City, urged residents to report illegal dumping so city crews can remove discarded items promptly.
"When you see dumping around the city of Lawndale, please call it in," Moore said, distinguishing those abandoned items from personal belongings left in front of private homes. He said the problem includes items such as couches dumped on streets and debris left in medians on Rosecrans and Hawthorne Boulevard.
Moore told listeners that the Public Works Department has crews available seven days a week to pick up reported debris. "If you see it dumped, call it in and report it so staff can get out and pick that item up right away," he said, and added that residents may contact either the Public Works Department or City Hall to request removal.
Moore framed the request as a quality-of-life issue, saying unattended dumped items make public right-of-way areas appear unkempt and poorly maintained. He asked residents to distinguish between illegal dumping and acceptable items placed at the curb by homeowners for scheduled collection.
The city manager did not announce any new enforcement actions or fines during the message; he only requested that residents report incidents so crews can respond.
