LA Clean Streets - Massive Illegal Dump Cleanup
Out of all the cleanups I've been to, this is probably the hugest and most disgusting I've documented. What wasn't captured in the video was the whole alley was literally a heap of trash. This illegal dumping was reported earlier in the week but obviously this has been sitting in the alley for weeks maybe even months.
Clean Streets/ CARE+ have been working all throughout this pandemic, for anyone that lives in LA and wonders why they can't clean up an entire encampment/illegal dump these days is solely because of the pandemic, officials believe that it will be less of a hazard if they clean around homeless encampment, but to me it seems like it's even more of a hazard if crews don't. It was for sure an interesting cleanup to watch and film not only because of the size but if you look closely from time to time in the video you'll see a rat the size of a shoe run out of the pile.
Huge thank you goes out to this crew featured, they were called out to this encampment and got straight to business despite the amount. If you're watching this I hope you enjoy the video.
Thanks for watching!

The flower shop thanks you for cleaning up the alley. They will call again in a few weeks when they refill the alley with more garbage.

Damn, what a mess! I’d be sending the entire bill right on over to the flower shop, because clearly most of that came from them, and they had no shame in piling more on as they were cleaning it up. It’s pretty cool that you’re able to film these cleanups, because one like this would almost be hard to believe without the video to prove it was there!
You can tell by the cardboard where most is coming from. The flower shop should have a huge fine. There is no excuse for that mess, they should have their own container for cardboard which can then be recycled.

ok y'all i just don't even think it's coming from the flowers shop and it has to do with the homeless people who is not even knowing that they are not even only ones that causing it to building up this trash and garbage and hoarding and sometimes it has to do with the dumpsters is over flowing the dumpsters

The flower shop has something to do with it because at 10:10 you see them trough some boxs on to the pile
Most of that came from the flower shop, hard to even tell what was illegal dumping and just from the shop. Send them the bill

ILLEGAL? it looks like to me the city failed in picking it up, the dumpsters got full and this was just the overflow from the city not emptying it on time, everything was piled close to and on top of full dumpsters

LA city doesn’t provide commercial services in all areas… Don’t blame the city. Blame the private haulers.
It's obvious where it has come from, they need to be prosecuted!
There seems to be more to this than just the flower shop massively dumping cardboard illegally which was shown in the video. I wonder if any of that cardboard was recoverable, or if it's all going to landfill or incinerators because it's contaminated? I'd like to know more on this story, what caused this to happen in the first place?
UNBELIEVABLE!!! at 10:00 they throw up the door and pitch a few more boxes on the pile...... wow! No respect for community!!! And to think this is the USA in 2021
This reminds me of my high school and the people I attended with, they're both a massive pile of shit. Anyways this is the biggest health hazard I have seen so far. Where was this, fashion district? And how long did it take to clean up? This must have been there for a year at least. Looks like the rats got evicted ASAP too. Mad respect for the men and women who deal with these issues.
Dude from the flower shop literally added to the pile in front of them. Hopefully the city goes after them.
Hey nice work! Been checking out a few videos from the US and I have to say that your equipment is starting to grow on me! Nice amount of on going action here. Some of that stop start action gets boring sometimes. Love see all of the shit getting loaded into the truck by the bob cat but geez people can be litter bugs! Makes me wonder how long it takes these businesses to create so much waste! Any way loved the video and hope to see more soon!
Wait till they get the bill for that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is what the rest of the country will look like in a few year’s

@@snoozeflu Clearly you have no idea what Fire Inspectors do… A fire code inspectors job is to survey the property and make sure it has proper fire safety standards. You cannot blame city workers for something they might have not been aware of because of lack of reports. Clearly, this is all the flower shops fault.
Check cameras, find who did it and fine them to the point they can’t even afford a cardboard box. 😁👍🏻
LOOK AT THE ADRESS LABELS
And its arrived just at Valentines, behind a flower shop? How so??
It's been almost 2 months; it's probably back to the same way...
If a shop had this much cardboard in my area they would receive a bin exclusively for cardboard and maybe one for green waste too. In addition to the general waste bins. If there was a lot of cardboard, they could have benefited greatly from a roll-on roll-off compactor which would have kept most of the rubbish contained properly. This smells like mismanagement of trash handling and failure to follow procedures. There's also a small chance the flower shop owner passed away and the estate mishandled all the trash cleanup.
A dumpster just for cardboard would solve most of this. Businesses in Australia all have them. What is wrong America???

This would have been the perfect GoPro hopper video! I can see how the rear bucket attachment comes in handy in tight areas like this, I imagine New Way engineered those specially on order for the city. So the guy who brings the bobcat on the dump truck is also the operator of the bobcat? It seems like a bit of a waste to have that open body dump truck not be used for anything but hauling the bobcat around. How many of those pairings do they have? In your conversation with the worker guy did you ask how bad this was compared to the other ones they've seen? I had to laugh at the comments because it is pretty obvious where most of this stuff came from. Sucks that the taxpayer has to clean up after these people. Meanwhile my grandmother (who owns a flower shop in Boston) has to pay Republic a premium for separate organic waste collection.
In England the rubbish collectors drop waste from the bins, but here you have a machine to do it, progress.
I hold you guys doing this and other similar cleanups, in total respect. Not easy work most of the time and in all climatic conditions. The risks you face from physical and high risk "needle stick" encounters, is a daily occupational hazard. I hope people realise and then in turn, give you the accolades that you richly deserve!
With the mounds of garbage, rats will come by the pack and diseases will show up.
That is crazy. I have never seen something like that.

I'm just staggered it didn't smell. There was so much cardboard it was ridiculous. Well those fat rats would be looking for food for a while, - pity the 'flower shop' didn't sell food - they might be getting a lesson in a few 'unwanted' visitors. I love the CAT skid steer although I think I prefer the "jaws" that open out wards as opposed to the ones fitted, although I suppose both types suit different jobs. They need to put some 'cameras' in that 'alley' and notices up stating "Any people Illegally dumping will face a Heavy Fine" - I think ours start at £1,000 and/or their vehicle crushed and a 3 month prison sentence for the 1st offence. It's surprising how fast it has stopped it in the UK, - (where I live).
Why would anyone want to come to America after seeing all this? The trash in the streets, homeless people everywhere, needles and human waste on sidewalks. Grafitti on buildings. All the money the government puts into stopping the problems just seems to get worse. Makes me sad for us as a county.

Now, lately I've been watching the rat infestation from LA and I can finally say, this video perfectly shows that issue. By far, this is one of the largest dump site I have ever seen on KZread. I wonder how long that pile took to make. Pretty cool the the guy in the cat used the claw to move the dumpsters. This was just satisfying to watch since it's rare that a dump can turn this bad. Awesome video!
Look at those beautiful condos at the end of the video.
Those New Ways are super fast! Mad props to the crew for cleaning it all up

Good idea !!!! Old tree munching trailer convert to rubbish munching. ,!! So faster than rubbish truck is too slow.
You know who owns the flower shop ,they do the same thing in their country.
All this garbage left behind is a major fire hazard. How many thousands of illegal encampments and illegal dumps have started fire over a careless cigarette or some stray spark in the bone dry California heat? LAFD must be run off their boots with all these messes. This is clearly a one time major city cleanup campaign where the city has to spend a lot of extra money hiring sub contractors to pickup the trash. Where they take the trash, is anyone's guess.
É possivel ver em um determinado momento do video,a porta da floricultura se abrir e um rapaz jogar mais lixo enquanto eles limpavam.
I'm surprised they weren't pulling bodies out of that mess other than rats. Welcome to today's big city democratic beatification.
That garbage truck is like the TARDIS inside !
That had to be more than one truck worth of trash ? The pile was massive ! I thought I seen the door going up and down during the clean up ? You would wonder how was anything getting near that building...
Wow, that's gotta be the biggest dump site I ever seen
The truck should have backed up so the bobcat could dump it’s load into the truck properly, without losing so much garbage. 🥴😖
Does LA burn their trash? Or only a landfill?
Do they pull the dead bodies out or just throw them away.
This is a waist of tax dollars if you ask me. Most, if not all the people who did this live or work nearby. Let them have disgusting neighborhoods for all I care.
Was amazing❤
How many loads of waste did you take away.
That is just insane
Wonder how long take clean that up
It is sad and disgusting to see what Southern California has been allowed to turn into.
There totally isn’t two big dumpsters right in front of the place 🙄 I get it’s probably expensive those dumpsters but really, would they rather have there place looking a mess
How outrageous, how much garbage. I understand that the pandemic causes services to collapse, but hey, throw all that out on the street and wait for someone to clean it up, it's tremendous.
Far too slow and inefficient this is ,what is needed is a giant vacuum type machine like on a road sweeper but with a hose like nozzle that sucks it all up and the wagon then uses a shredder built in to shred and reduce it down .

Have to blame the trash service that service those two bins there.there empty now but probably not coming and empty the bins but once a month and got overfill and didn't have any more room to to put the trash so people put their trash behind them also need a cardboard bin for boxes

Jesus just get 2 big roll off dumpsters

And this is the model for the rest of the state's to follow??? Holy Hell.......
There is more trash on ground than in truck and taken a lot of time doing the job. Dumpster on front then empty overhead into truck happy New year
Flower shop needs to revive a big bill
Nice video but Damn that’s a mess in my opinion they should’ve brought the dump truck
Hope the local Fire Department washed down or street sweepers helped pick up the debris left in the alley way. Then monitored for a couple weeks to check on where the boxes/trash etc are coming from so hefty fines could be issued for littering. Nice job, Sanitation Workers. If everyone, everyday, picked up one piece of trash outside and threw in a trash container, 🚮 think how much cleaner our world could be.
Company that retired from baled the cardboard they got and sold it to a recycling co.
Ugh that is just a nasty mess..........
