Fireworks Are Illegal In the City of San Gabriel

As the 4th of July holiday approaches, we would like to remind you that fireworks are illegal within the San Gabriel City limits. Please plan ahead to celebrate responsibly.

Fireworks and loud noises can cause your pet to become frightened or disoriented. Below are some tips on how to keep them safe this 4th of July.

How to keep your pets safe:
  • Something as simple as turning on some soft music and moving your pet into an interior room with no windows can be helpful.
  • An anxiety vest may work in some cases—if you don’t have one, try a snugly fitting t-shirt.
  • While noise phobias are not as common in cats, they can and do happen. Fortunately, cats tend to hide when frightened. Checking in on your cats, having some quiet music on and keeping them indoors during the height of the fireworks is always a good idea.

To report illegal fireworks, please call the non-emergency number at (626) 308-2828.

Dumping bulky items like old couches, tv's and mattresses on the curb and on the sidewalks makes our city look dirty. It is also illegal and can result in a fine up to $1,000.
 
For property owners who want to reduce illegal dumping in front of or near their property, we have listed some tips below to help.
 
  • Inform neighbors, tenants, and guests to schedule a bulky item pickup with Athens Services before placing furniture, mattresses, and other items out near the curb.
  • Install real or fake security cameras to help catch who is doing the dumping.
  • Install "No Dumping" signs around your property. These are commonly found at hardware stores and there are many affordable options online as well.
  • Keep the exterior of the property well lit to help reduce illegal dumping and other crimes.
  • Report items as soon as you see them. If it is in front of your property call Athens Services to schedule a pickup. If you see it somewhere else, contact Neighborhood Improvement Services (NIS) at (626) 308-2826 or Public Works Department at (626) 308-2825.
 
If you see someone ACTIVELY dumping bulky items anywhere in the City of San Gabriel, please call the non-emergency number at the San Gabriel Police Department (626) 308-2828 to report the violation. This can help us stop repeat violators.
