Debris Removal

The debris removal process following a federally declared disaster wildfire is a critical step in the recovery and rebuilding efforts. Wildfire debris must be carefully cleared to avoid further harm to individuals and the community. Residents whose homes were damaged or destroyed in the Palisades and Eaton fires can now sign up for debris removal on Los Angeles County’s recovery website. It is free for residents and does not require homeowners to sign up.

The removal process is divided into two phases:

Household Hazardous Waste Removal: Visible household hazardous waste is prioritized for immediate removal to ensure safety.
Debris Removal: The remaining contaminated ash and debris are then carefully cleared, with strict environmental precautions in place to protect the environment.

As a reminder, do not touch or breathe in toxic ash and debris.
