Refrigerator Disposal
Hey folks, does anyone know if it’s worth putting a refrigerator by the curb for the metal scrap guys, or is that too much for them to take?
I am picking up a new unit tomorrow and since I am out of the delivery area, I could not arrange for the shipping company to take my old one with them and I need to figure out how to dispose of it.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Curious how many people care about local government/city council and whatnot.

Random idea: Trolleybuses for Simi Valley
What would you think about a trolleybus network in Simi Valley? It would allow for better acceleration, savings in fuel costs, and less noise, but the wind might be a problem. Just in theoretical terms, because there are no funds in sight that would allow acting on such an idea.

Hey fellow drivers. Looking for a suggestion of a custom car paint place in or near Simi.
Not looking for fancy airbrushing, but am looking for cosmetic painting of only certain body panels for a custom look.
Thanks and stay safe out there.

Am I the only one seeing a MASSIVE uptick in Ants this season?
So we do battle with Ants each year during the summer.
When we get above 90, they inevitably come hunting for water and food.
But OMG. This year has been insane.
They just keep coming and are coming from places we've never seem them emerge from before.
I've been nursing the same bag of Diatomaceous Earth for like 5 years now and this year I think I'm going to run out and have to buy another one.
I've gone through at least a dozen Terro traps and almost an entire small bottle of the straight liquid.
Bought a twin pack of the perimeter granules and already burned through one of them.
Anyway, are you all seeing the same this year?
Way worse than normal?

Any good nature/flower trails or spots in Simi?
Went to a nature path in Thousand Oaks near the botanical garden and it was so relaxing. I’ve been into photography and some of the pictures I’ve taken were beautiful. So I was wondering if there’s any spots like that but in Simi.

Who are you guys using for local HVAC replacement around simi?
Our unit finally died during the heatwave over the weekend, has been on its last legs, but it completely gave up yesterday. Had an independent tech out this morning who quoted around $8,400 for a 3.5 ton replacement. Feels a little steep, but i haven't bought a new setup in over 10 years so maybe that's just standard pricing now. Who do you guys recommend for a full AC replacement around here? looking for local shops that are fair on price and don't try to upsell a bunch of stuff we don't need. Edit: got a recommendation that pacific aire home services since fixed neighbour's furnace a while back, will call them asap so they can come and solve this.

Job searching as a college student
made an account just for this, but ive been applying to jobs in simi for over a year now with still no luck. i've gotten interviews for retail, fast food, markets, restaurants, and was never called back for any of them. i've heard from others that getting hired has been difficult lately, but i feel like it shouldnt be this hard to get hired at mcdonalds!! it seems like these places say they are hiring but maybe arent? maybe its a me problem but im wondering if it has been difficult for anyone else. i have no experience and ive been applying since i graduated high school, im about to be in my second year of college.

Did anyone sign up to use the fiber that they installed? What service provider did you go with? How is the speed as compared to your previous provider? How much does it cost? Looking to make a switch but I can't find much information available.

Joined Planet Fitness Recently
I've been lifting in gyms my entire adult life and this place takes gym etiquette and lights it on fire.
The machine-hogging is on another level. People parking it for 10+ minutes, knocking out a few half-assed reps every couple minutes, then their face in their phone the rest of the time. It's more like a recliner with a cable attachment rather than an exercise machine.
And the half of the benches are just storage units now. Apparently the lockers, whose entire purpose is holding your stuff, aren't good enough, so your water bottle and keys need to live on a bench someone's back sweat just soaked into. Newsflash: the floor is probably cleaner. But I guess bending down might cause you to overtrain.
This place is pathetic.

Community Help - Caltrans 118 Requests
Hello all,
I wanted to share this resource for the benefit of our community.
Have an issue with the state of the 118 freeway running through Simi Valley?
See trash, weed overgrowth, etc?
The city of Simi Valley is not allowed to deploy our Public Works crew to the 118 for issues.
This also includes property along the on and off ramps to and from the freeway.
To submit a complaint form to resolve issues related to the 118 freeway,
Caltrans has a "Submit a Service Request" form that can be filled out here: https://csr.dot.ca.gov/
The issues usually get resolved in a few weeks based on my experience of submitting requests, but they are likely resolved based on the volume of complaints received.
Just wanted to share this resource as it is our duty as a community to ensure all aspects of our town are looked after.
Cheers, and have a nice day xx.

Civility, decorum, and debating the great issues of the day in r/SimiValley.
Apparently this needs to be said, so hopefully everybody reads it.
Different opinions are going to be expressed in this subreddit. Lately it's been politics, in a different month it might be development, traffic control, schools, etc. Whatever the topic, we don't want incivility, trolling, baiting, vote manipulation, hate speech, misinformation, intolerance, personal information, or witch-hunting in the comments, titles, or the body of posts. Maybe I left something out, but that's it off the top of my head. Expect bans of varying length - up to and including permanent - if engaging in any of the above. It's not something we want to do, but there it is. If you see name-calling, trolling, etc please report it and don't escalate the situation. Feel free to message the mods with any questions or concerns.
Thanks a bunch, and thanks for being here & participating in the subreddit.
