To dispose of your garbage please throw them in the bins located near your closest parking structure. Tan bins are for trash that goes to landfill. Our blue bins are used for recycling.
Our green bins are used for food waste to be composted. To see the list of recyclable items in LA you can go to https://www.sustain.ucla.edu/sorting-waste/.
The small bins located throughout the community are for individual pieces of garbage, not for your personal trash.
While some still accept quarters, most of the laundry machines are operated using a third-party digital system called PayRange.
Download the app for Android or iPhone and you can use your credit card by following the directions on the machine. You will need to register your own account the first time you use it.

Unlike top loading washers, front loaders seal fully when the door is closed. If the door is left closed between uses, this causes mold to grow in the seal and drum.
Leaving the doors opened when they're not in use decreases the mold growth and allows the machines to dry. If you're doing laundry and notice an unused washing machine door closed, go ahead and open it to help out.
We have a mail theft problem. It's a wide spread problem across LA. UASRA has worked hard to have cameras installed in our mail areas and have spoken to the Post Master Generals office.
If you are aware of a specific time your package was stolen you can provide that window of time to UCPD by calling them and they can check the recordings (310) 825-1491.
It's EXTREMELY important that you report all stolen packages. To reduce package theft please check your mail at least once a day and do not leave packages over night. When you are going on holiday make sure to have your mail held by USPS.
Both Sawtelle and Sepulveda have AMPLE street parking. Just remember to check the posted signs for street cleaning which is usually one day a week for 2-4 hours.
According to the law (2017) your car can be reported as "abandoned" if it has been parked there longer than 72 hours. So make sure you're actually using the vehicle.
Email uas@ha.ucla.edu with your apartment number and your LA phone number.
If you do not have an LA phone number (area code 310 or 424), you can get one for free through Google Voice and set it to forward to your cell phone.
