LA County Free Debris Removal Program for Fire-Affected Residents Sign Up Ends Soon

Homeowners Impacted by the Palisades Fire Can Apply for No-Cost Cleanup Services

Los Angeles County has launched the Right of Entry form for its free debris removal program, designed to assist residents affected by the Palisades fires.

Residents who wish to participate must complete the Right of Entry form, available for download or submission online at recovery.lacounty.gov/debris-removal. The form is also accessible at Disaster Recovery Centers, where in-person assistance is available daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The local Disaster Recovery Center on the Westside is located at UCLA Research Park West at 10850 West Pico Boulevard. Those with questions or needing help filling out the form can call the Fire Debris Hotline at 844-347-3332.

The Right of Entry form is part of Phase 2 of the debris removal program, which allows residents to opt into free nonhazardous debris removal conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers or opt out. Phase 1, currently underway, involves the removal of hazardous debris.

To take advantage of the free debris removal service, residents must submit a completed Right of Entry form by March 31, 2025. Without this form, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its contractors cannot access properties for cleanup.

The program includes property assessment, asbestos removal, tree removal, ash and soil removal, burned debris removal, structural demolition, vehicle removal, erosion control, environmental monitoring, and potential foundation removal.

Residents who choose to opt out must hire a specialized, approved contractor to complete debris removal in compliance with all relevant regulations. Those opting out will not be eligible for reimbursement from federal or state disaster funding. Additionally, they must adhere to the “Management of Los Angeles County Wildfire Debris” guidelines and specifications for private debris removal.

Applications to opt in or out are available online and in person at Disaster Recovery Centers.
