- Venice, Los Angeles - January 18, 2024. A significant joint operation was conducted by the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works and Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. on Rose Avenue in Venice to address the homeless encampment issue. The initiative is part of the city's ongoing efforts to manage homelessness and maintain public sanitation.
In preparation for the cleanup, the city had earlier posted notices, alerting residents of the upcoming activity and requesting the removal of personal belongings from the area. These notices stipulated that any items left behind would be removed by city workers.
The unhoused individuals were given a 15-minute window by Los Angeles Sanitation to relocate their possessions before the cleanup. Police officers assisted in moving people away from the cleaning zones, and unclaimed items were cleared by sanitation workers.
The cleanup operation saw coordinated efforts between two waste management units: the Department of Public Works and Clean Harbors Environmental Inc. The teams, identifiable by their yellow and orange vests respectively, focused on segregating hazardous materials from non-hazardous waste, ensuring a thorough cleaning process.
The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) provided outreach services to the homeless during the operation.
Los Angeles Police Officers ensured the safety and compliance of all parties, particularly the homeless community. They focused on maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards and ensuring adherence to safety guidelines.
Despite the implementation of Ordinance 41.18, which restricts certain activities in public spaces, no citations were issued during the cleanup. This operation is a part of Los Angeles' larger strategy to address homelessness, highlighting the city's commitment to both immediate and long-term solutions, focusing on the root causes of homelessness and providing essential resources to those in need

Clean Harbors is making a killing off this. The CEO of Clean Harbors net worth is $488 million.
I am worth -$1.09 in my account
Right in front of the whole foods/CVS store that's crazy every week. Why don't they put up a sign that says no camping out anyone that does going to clink.
Whoa again and again the same spot every time it never ends with this problem endless.
Anyone, tell me I'm wrong! The city allows the homeless to take over the sidewalk, prevent the public from using the sidewalk and turn the sidewalk into a substation for a trash landfill. The city, on a weekly basis, notify the homeless the city will arrive at a specified time and clean up after them. Not only does the city cleanup after them, the city provides police protection for the crew so they can safely cleanup after the homeless. The homeless feel the need to verbally abuse all involved in cleaning up after them, because they are inconvenienced. Finally, the city pressure washes the sidewalk, so the homeless can have a clean sidewalk to setup camp and collect new trash. I'm thinking the sidewalks have not dried out before the homeless return. Am I mistaken believing this is government's plan for the homeless and these actions of weekly cleanings will continue for the future with no end in sight? Please, criticize me, tell me I don't understand, tell me I'm clueless, but please give me the solution for the issue! 👍😎✌
Some kids stolen bike. The amount of garbage they collect each week is mind blowing. This sucks so bad.
2:35 is enough proof that they need to clean up the sidewalk. Dude almost ate it cause of all the trash on the floor.
So much stuff, if it wasn't cleaned weekly. You can just imagine all the stuff that would quickly get bigger and bigger. Public sidewalk must be kept clean for the safety of the public and the homeless.
This will never end because people occupying this area know they can get back as soon as cleanup crew leaves. They literally wait across the street and then move right back.
There's got to be an 'intertwining' of addiction and hoarding in the synaptic pathways of these individuals. The evidence is pretty obvious you can't have one without the other.
There is. I know a few people who are homeless that are like that.
Is there a reason they gather at these E-bike stations ? , do they get power from them for phones or appliances ?
Homeless and hoarding at the same time . Amazing the amount of crap that accumulates .
SAME PLACE SAME PEOPLE.DISCUSTING
Check back in 6 months, I guarantee it's not the same people. They aren't healthy and they are addicts. It's too grueling and a total pain in the ass for unhealthy addicts to try and keep up with this relentless daily cleanup effort and keep moving all their crap, which ends up getting thrown away anyway. The city is on a mission.
I predict Santa Monica in the next 2 years will completely restored to how it was...a super clean city just like Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Belair and Calabasas.
To be or not to be homeless. You stumble and fall , but we learn and rise up.
Why doesn't the city ban camping on sidewalks?
They will in certain zones. L.A. is so big, it's too hard to police. If enough people complain to their district office, only then will the city do something. We had the same problem in my neighborhood for like 10 years. We constantly complained, mainly because it was a bum zone across the street from an elementary school and Church. Once parents threatened lawsuits, the city cleaned house one time, posted large signs around prohibiting this behavior or else. No tents or RV's since. LAPD is so understaffed and so busy, it usually takes them 45 mins. to an hour to show up for a violence type of call, unless you live north of Sunset Blvd. It's a complex mess...
Guess they don’t have littering laws anymore
only for the homeless- they are allowed to do whatever they feel
nice place to live...enjoy
I am just surprised they didn’t steal the bikes for parts.
If I were a bum I'd be the best bum ever😮
California's Endless Cycle Of Bureaucratic BS !! 🤡🤑💰💰💰
Takecl a fence .fence it off from homeless .
Amazing each week more hoarding on the sidewalk. How do they collect so much each???🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
it is a mental illness and prob why they cannot stay in an apt or hotel or motel room
People throw away tons of stuff too
Just like there is persistent, daily drug use!
I think Sandra needs to worry about putting her shoes on and stop throwing stuff. She could have been arrested for assault for throwing stuff at the back of Ali’s head. Lucky the cops just told her that she needs to work on her attitude.
They be back Friday
Every day, it's Rose and/or Main. Why bother?
Dasy is fine as wine 🌹😘🇺🇲
Your a fine girl 😊☺️
They get ebt cards, and SSD. SSI, and buy all that. Crazy. Homeless should only have a portable tent sleeping bag, a few blankets, and a bag of clothes to change, they try building a apartment 😢 they trashed it.😢
Whey do they always have multiple bikes and bike parts.
the amount of stuff that Black girl has is ridiculous. most of them carry way too much crap around
THAT WAS A RACIST STATEMENT😡
They need it so they can sell it for drugs. A lot of it is likely stolen.
Maybe all that crap is all they have! How much crap do you have in your garage!
i dont have a garage; i live in a small apt and have very little in it. people keep way too much stuff and if you are going to iive the nomad life then you need to really limit 'stuff'@@CrazyT502
I would be furious if I lived there, paid my taxes, and had to live next to all that nonsense.
Get it spotless for re-entry! 😂
Homeless Housekeeping Crew ..
Well people we are to blame ! It's your and my fault... So ! Let's start more tougher approach. Ban public sleeping . No stationary sleeping allowed only moving sleep allowed! 😅
Additional opening black Hollywood Division LAPD Reserve had smell till deported illegal
I don't know whybth e y don't ask for help
Maybe they should go after them every day b instead of once a week.
Nah. That would make too much sense.
It seems like it’s the same place they always clean up after few days these people never learn but they’ll be back again next week for more clean up 😂
I keep hearing low flying aircraft flying over are is that a helicopter over this homeless encampnent for safety, i hear this every time on these vinice beach videos are the restroom videos or santa monica pier videos santa monica does not tolerate homeless encampments
Those are single engine airplanes. Not helicopters. Santa Monica municipal airport is close by.
Its so cold at night🥺😔❄️
I wish the police could be more patient with these people⛺
Get a job and take some self respect
