Although the Public Works Department for the City of Torrance covers a wide area starting at Western Avenue and going west, many Torrance addresses are serviced by the City or County of Los Angeles depending on your street address. A general rule of thumb is to note the agency that responds to your police or file calls in your area. For example, if the LA County Sheriff responds to calls in your area, then your refuse is serviced by the County of LA. If your calls are responded to by LAPD, the City of Los Angeles services your collection. To contact Los Angeles City or County, please call:
