Mayor's Welcome

Republic Services will operate on a modified pick up schedule with one to two days delayed service through the remainder of the week. Residential customers in Garden Grove should expect last week’s missed carts to be serviced today or tomorrow.

Residents are encouraged to place their carts at the curb on their regular collection day and leave them out until service occurs. Due to curbside service restarting citywide, the temporary waste collection sites have closed.

The community is invited to join the Garden Grove Police Department (GGPD) at the annual National Night Out, a free community-building event featuring family activities, giveaways, live demonstrations, and raffle prizes on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The event will take place in front of the Garden Grove Police Headquarters, located at 11301 Acacia Parkway.

The labor-related demonstrations that disrupted waste collection in the Garden Grove Sanitary District have concluded, and Republic Services will resume normal commercial and residential trash pickup. Republic Services expects to have all service fully back on schedule by mid-week.

“Trash collection is a service our residents rely on, and I know how frustrating these delays have been. Thank you for your patience and for helping us keep Garden Grove clean,” said Mayor Stephanie Klopfenstein.
