CITY HALL CLOSED – FRIDAY, JULY 4TH
City Hall will be closed on Friday, July 4th in
observance of the Independence Day Holiday.
Rolling Hills City Council and staff wish you a wonderful
holiday weekend! City Hall will re-open Monday, July 7th.
PLEASE REMEMBER, NO FIREWORKS ARE
ALLOWED ON THE PALOS VERDES PENINSULA
AT ANY TIME.
Fireworks pose a significant threat on the Palos Verdes
Peninsula due to the region’s designation as a Very High
Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The dry brush, steep terrain, and
frequent winds create conditions where even a single
spark can ignite a fast-movin g wildfire. Recent wildfires in
the northern part of Los Angeles County have highlighted
how quickly fires can spread and the devastating impact
they can have on communities. In light of these dangers,
all fireworks are illegal on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Their
use not only breaks the law and carries legal penalties but
also endangers lives, property, and the natural
environment.

BRUSH AND GREENWASTE TIPS FOR FIRE
CLEARANCE SEASON:
Yard and landscaping waste, including: grass,
clippings, leaves, tree/shrub trimmings, limbs,
brush, are collected separately from household
waste. Place green waste into personal containers (max
32 gallons, 60 lbs.) or bundle (max 4 ft long). To find the
Rolling Hills 2025 Residential services guide containing this
info and more you can visit: https://bit.ly/4mXK4Nq.
CONTAINERS: You must provide your own containers
which should be no larger than 32 Gallons and not weigh
more than 60lbs. Please note: containers obtained
through Republic services are not acceptable for green
waste, these containers are 64 gallons and when full are
too large or too heavy for drivers to lift and you may
receive a red tag.
RED TAGS: A red tag on containers or materials indicates
that items were prepared incorrectly or overfilled. If you
receive a red tag, please check the tag for info on how
to resolve the issue prior to your next collection day.
MANURE: Do not mix green waste with manure. The
scooter drivers and mother truck will not be able to
collect your green waste if manure is included. For
manure services, contact Isabel Guerrero at: 310-748-
3947 or email Iguerrero@republicservices.com. Manure
services consist of a 2-yard bin placed at your designated
collection location. A special scout service comes to
empty the bin dependent on your personal needs.
Manure services are contracted privately by residents
through Republic Services.
FREE 40 CY GREENWASTE ROLL OFF BIN: For larger
quantities of green waste, each residence may request
one 40 cy bin per calendar year, free of charge. This is used
for green waste only; no construction and demolition
materials are permitted or a removal fee will be charged. If
you would like to order a green waste bin, email
RollingHills@republicservices.com.
