2. FIND YOUR GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES
The L.A. Times has developed a project that allows you to see who represents you in various branches of the government. It also includes phone numbers and email addresses for those elected officials, should you need to contact them.
Engaging with bureaucracy can feel confusing and intimidating. This project was created to help Angelenos learn more about their local government and institutions that affect their day-to-day lives.
Simply enter your address via the link below and find out who represents you in the City and County of Los Angeles, the State of California and in the Federal Government.
3. CURBSIDE ORGANICS RECYCLING – NOW REQUIRED
OrganicsLA is a curbside organics recycling program from the City of Los Angeles, mandated by Senate Bill 1383, a statewide mandate aimed at keeping organic waste out of landfills and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Effective immediately, residents serviced by LASAN are required to place food scraps and food-soiled paper, along with yard waste, in their green bin. The City of Los Angeles will pick up the green bin weekly and the collection day will remain the same.
Residents serviced by the City’s recycLA program should work through their property management company to request organics service, if it is not already provided. To establish organics service, the property management company should contact our 24-hour Customer Care Center at 1-800-773-2489 and request a waste assessment, from their recycLA service provider.

5. SAFETY FAIR & CATALYTIC CONVERTER ETCHING
We encourage you to attend the upcoming Crime Prevention & Safety Fair, hosted by the West LA Police Dept. There will be a number of safety-related activities at the event as well as food and music. In particular, you may wish to consider signing up for “catalytic converter etching”.
The Greater Los Angeles Area has been experiencing thefts of catalytic converters, machinery underneath the car made of precious metals, that requires your car to run properly. It can cost up to $2,000 to replace your catalytic converter if stolen, and it is illegal to drive without one.
If you would like to attend the Safety Fair and have your catalytic converted etched with identification information, you must register for an appointment. Appointments fill up quickly. Email Senior Lead Officer Jimmy Lavenson, at 30627@lapd.online for an appointment.
