With the Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays both falling on Monday this year, trash and recycling services will be delayed by one day the remainder of those holiday weeks.

The City’s waste hauler Waste Management will start its annual 3-week curbside Christmas tree collection on December 26.   Trees are collected on your regular trash day. Just be sure to remove all stands and decorations, and if your tree is taller than 6 feet, it should be cut In half before placing it curbside.

Construction will soon begin on the 44-year-old facility that has been home to the world-famous Nadadores since the 1970s.  In preparation for the project that will take about a year and a half to complete, the City has turned off the heaters in the complex's three pools - 50- and 25-meter pools and a shallow training pool - and stopped adding chemicals to the water so it can be neutralized before the pools are drained.

The Public Services Department is proud to partner with scouts who are working to achieve merit badges and Eagle Scout rankings.  Each year, we complete approximately 35 scout projects that benefit our community.  Landscape beautification projects are generally available year-round.  In addition, depending on our needs, other project types, such as fence installation, painting, and small construction projects may also be available. We welcome ideas from our scouts that would benefit our parks, trails, community centers and City landscape.

Students and residents wishing to complete community service hours for school or youth programs may contact the Public Services Departments for volunteer opportunities that benefit our community. Projects may include trash pick-up in our parks, trails and community centers, plant material installation, painting and event set-up.  Please call 949-470-3064 to inquire about available opportunities.

The City of Mission Viejo sweeps your public residential streets free of charge every two weeks to keep debris from entering the storm drain and polluting our creeks, beaches, and ocean.

With Southern California experiencing dangerous high winds, fire activity and Red Flag conditions, residents may lose power, according to Southern California Edison (SCE).

“Due to public safety concerns, SCE may also turn off power to specific circuits in areas where there is a high risk of predicted extreme winds,” said the company’s Karalee Darnell in an email to the City of Mission Viejo.
