VENICE, CA — Friday, October 31, 2025 — A coordinated multi-agency cleanup operation took place Friday morning along Fourth Street in Venice, part of the City of Los Angeles’ continuing efforts to maintain sanitation, safety, and accessibility in public areas.

The effort was led by the Department of Public Works in partnership with the Los Angeles Police Department, Environmental Compliance Inspectors (E.C.I.), Clean Harbors Environmental Services, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA), and Councilwoman Traci Park’s office.

Advance cleanup notices had been posted before the operation. Environmental Compliance Inspectors engaged with individuals camping near the boardwalk, advising them to relocate temporarily so crews could clear the area. Campers were given 15 minutes to collect their belongings, while inspectors directed them to leave trash for city disposal.

Hazmat specialists and Environmental Compliance Inspectors sifted through the remaining debris, identifying and safely removing hazardous materials such as batteries and aerosols. Clean Harbors managed toxic waste, while Public Works teams removed trash and bulky items from the sidewalks.

Many unhoused individuals often return to the same locations following cleanups, reestablishing tents until the next scheduled operation.

Representatives from Councilwoman Traci Park’s office oversaw inter-agency coordination on site, while LAHSA outreach workers distributed food, bottled water, and hygiene kits, and offered supportive services to those affected.

No arrests or citations were reported during the operation.

Santa Monica Closeup continues to document public events of local significance across the Westside, including homelessness outreach, law enforcement activity, and coastal cleanup operations.
