We want to hear from you! The City of Manhattan Beach would like feedback from the residential and commercial community about the City's solid waste services. The City's current contract with Waste Management expires in 2018, and we will use feedback from the community to inform our next steps as we begin the open bidding process for solid waste services. "Solid waste service" includes curbside trash pick-up, recycling, and yard and food waste; composting classes; annual paper shredding; bulky-item pick-up and more. 

Survey
There is one survey for Residents (residential property owners/tenants), and one survey for Commercial (business owners/managers).  Please take a moment to fill out this survey and help us choose the best options for our community.  If you live and own/manage a business in town, please complete both surveys.  Paper copies of the survey (for those who prefer to fill out a hard copy survey) are available at the City Hall and Public Works Reception Desks. 

The City will also hold Community Meetings for Residents and Commercial Businesses on Thursday, November 2, 2017 at the Police/Fire Conference Room at 420 15th Street (Police/Fire Facility in the Civic Center Plaza).  The Commercial Business Community Meeting will take place at 9:00 AM and the Residential Community Meeting will take place at 6:00 PM the same day.

Open City Hall
