The Los Angeles wildfires left behind hazardous waste and debris. Programs in the Greater Los Angeles Area offer disposal solutions and designated facilities to assist with managing these materials.
CalEPA
CalEPA and U.S. EPA’s wildfire debris cleanup program provides free hazardous waste and debris removal to fire-impacted property owners. Residents can opt in by submitting a Right-of-Entry form, allowing crews to clear debris while adhering to environmental regulations.
The process begins by visiting the state’s official wildfire recovery page, where the ROE form and details on the California Wildfire Debris Cleanup Program are hosted.
Homeowners impacted by the Palisades and Eaton Fires must opt-in for phase 2 of debris removal by Monday, March 31.
