Manage Your Debris Removal Independently: Pacific Palisades Wildfire Debris Clean-Up
If you choose to opt out of the government-run debris removal program in the Pacific Palisades, you are responsible for independently managing the clean-up of your property. This page provides select guidance for individuals and property owners who wish to hire their own licensed contractors, rather than opting for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to manage Phase 2 of the Pacific Palisades clean-up debris efforts.
Remember to follow Los Angeles County’s wildfire debris removal protocols, outlined in the Opt-Out agreement, to ensure your clean-up meets health and safety standards. When handling your own clean-up, it is important to hire licensed contractors who follow these guidelines:
- Compliance with Local Program Standards: Contractors must adhere to the protocols and requirements set forth by Los Angeles County for wildfire debris management; and,
-
Safe Debris Removal Practices: Contractors must wet down ash and debris before removal to control dust to prevent contamination and exposure during transportation.
