- City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works sanitation workers in white hazardous materials suits remove hazardous waste, trash and tents from the Venice Beach Boardwalk homeless encampment, Thursday, July 1, 2021.
The sanitation workers were given permission by the homeless person to remove items. The homeless person may have been housed and will no longer be in the tent.
HOUSING OPTIONS:
Outreach workers have been out at Venice Beach regularly, offering housing to people residing at the Beach. Outreach workers will continue to be present in each zone prior to the listed cleanup day to connect the unhoused with
these housing options. Sufficient housing options exist for anyone who was living at the beach on or
before June 25, 2021. If unhoused need help moving belongings, assistance will be provided. Transportation to the housing site is available at no charge to the unhoused.

All the people that are supporting the homeless and speak out for them, should take a homeless home with them. Given then shelter, helped them out instead of crying about it. Allowed them to sleep in your house offer them your couch or let them sleep outside your propriety see how it feels to have crap in front of your door step. Lastly if your homeless your personal belongings should be your ID, EBT card, one sleeping bag, a few pairs of clothes and one tent. No need for all the xtra trash
Exactly!!
I have and will continue to support the homeless. You sound like a wanna be Fascist.
@@ellobo768 Your support of the homeless hasn't been going very well. They are still homeless.
ALL of those people are more than welcome to come to SOFLO. The absolute best homeless spot in USA. Plenty of work, free housing and food. Don't want to pay taxes and work...fine. Local panhandlers average 4-700 daily. Best dope in America, cheap booze and beer, be treated like street royalty. Jails full so you can't live there. Shelters abound. Everyday meals 3x, buffets on beach just restarted. Plz come here, you won't be sorry.
They just want to feel important and say something even if it’s nonsense they are low IQ cretins
Shouldn’t THEY be the ones cleaning up their OWN crap?!? Ridiculous.
Does it look like they'd clean up their own crap?
Yes, they probably should. How quickly would there be lawyers or civil rights activists screaming about human rights abuses?
Nope, they are entitled and free whatever they like with our tax money. Immigrants who come to US work hard, they should be replaced by these homeless people
I agree but then they wouldn’t be bums if they could do things for themselves.
@@user-ib5mx8ro4k oh yea. They have to keep that “title”. 🤦🏽♂️😂🤣
Looks like Venice Beach California is just one big human litter box.
It has been for decades. The only difference is that before the transient population was living in the park or random alleys instead of being allowed to camp out on the beach.
Los Angeles sucks! 😂
Except the sand in kitty litter box get changed regularly.
As I suspected their finding crazy amounts of drug needles
I hope anyone who visits got their hep shots
They're
Yeah. We can only hope that they find them all before someone steps on them.. people have been known to walk the sand barefoot! Just saying
Pipes,Needles,Human Feces,Germs,used Condoms,Sex Toys then you got Observers who slow you down. Just the Urine alone would make you gag!
@@janetyamashige9573 I saw another video of the clean up where mice had burrowed below tents and when they started cleaning up the mice were running everywhere. It was so disgusting.
The law says you can’t camp over night on the beach. Why should the homeless be exempt. Get them out! Stop breaking the laws. Get out!
Okay I agree, but where they gonna go? 😂
@@Pcarnevaaa I hear you. I do. It’s all just a sad mess
The trespassers had more than enough warning to get their "treasures" off the beach. A grappler pickup and into the dumpsters.
All those paint cans and fecies. I applaud those guys having to go through it.
they need a retired Army General in charge of this DPW to better organize this crew.
Ha ha. Your right.
Restoring it back to an actual beach, was starting to look like a shanty town.
👍👍👍
Actually it look like a beach with a Shantytown on it
Venice Beach was a dump in 2015 before this crap even happened!
starting??
And got ve it time and the homeless will be back out there.
So nice that the homeless person gave “permission” to remove their crap! Wouldn’t want to offend them by cleaning things up…
Quadruple the pay of these people who are cleaning these areas, they are working in a bio hazardous area, exposing themselves to all sorts of diseases.
Couldn’t agree more.
Not sure but I think it’s people on community service doing the cleanup.
You want city employees to make $120/hour???
Force the homeless to do it or face deportation.
@@dystopiaisutopia they wouldn’t do shit. They’re homeless yet picky as hell. They have a sense of entitlement. Such a drain on society
So sad... Never to be able to walk barefoot in the sand again.
Unsanitary debris and human waste for years to come. What a disgusting mess.
Yeah scary needles in the sand box
Nope if ever walking on sand specially here I would wear running shoes
“You’re not just going to throw that stuff are you?” No mam, were going to warehouse it indefinitely at no cost to the homeless and charge the taxpayers for the storage bills.
13:20 Excuse me, where do I go to claim my big jug of piss?
Shut the hell up a and have some God dam respect for people not that you probably ever no what it's like to be homeless ect
Thank you for getting those bullies off the beach we appreciate you so much .
At this rate it will take 20 years to clean up all the tents and trash in Venice Beach.
They have to be meticulous doing this job because of all the hazards it entails🤷🏻♀️ you couldn’t pay me enuf to do what they’re doing🙄
@@woop2235 well said bro. Me neither even at100 dollars an hour. Rog. Pacific sunset.
At least they started!
bet this costs the city MILLIONS.....5 guys standing around watching themselves do nothing....
You try doing it in 90+ Degree Temperatures along with saving their Property. Then there's the Physical Part of actually putting the Junk in the Garage Truck. Not easy!
@@jameskann951 move to Alaska///
@@jameskann951 No kidding. That can't be an easy job taking into consideration of squatting, lifting, dragging, pulling all while wearing the heavy uniform. In my opinion they are doing a great job.
last time I was in Venice, I thought I would never go back. Now maybe there's a chance
There's more to life than going to Venice Beach buddy
Always wear scandels or better yet boots. How many needles are lurking under the sand or under water waiting to be washed ashore?
They would have to spray and Sanitize the whole beach inorder for us to go back. No more meetings and gatherings at the beach anymore and for the kids😢 What do they do with all the valuables? and where are all those people at while they’re throwing away their homes? 🙏and why do they were White??
They need some heavy machinery to speed things up
Yeh after watching how clumsily they're searching the sand for debris, I would NEVER allow kids or pets to walk on that beach. No way they're actually cleaning out all the needles, human feces, heroin/fentanyl pipes, broken glass, etc. Where's Dark Helmet's men when you need them? "Comb the Desert!"
We ain't found shit!
😂😂😂
UHMMM DO U MEAN CRACK PIPES???? 🤔 U CANT SMOKE HEROIN OR FENTYNAL OUT OF A PIPE 🙄
@@sashaprettyeyes2052 of course you can! Heavy glass pipe and strong butane torch lighter.EXCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY
Replace the sand
Get a front-end loader and be done with it, let a recycling center sort that out !
Little Yanmar or Kubota lol...done!
I'm so happy they are doing this, Venice Beach is an iconic place, i'm looking forward to visit with my family after the 4th of july 🥳
Same! I wont go until I know its cleaned up.
we'lle be visiting and staying in venice in September. great to see theyre doing this...hopefully the homeless are offered an alternative though.
Watch out for needles...
That sand will be full of unsanitary debris for years to come.
It is okay, the sand at Venice/Santa Monica beaches have been full of debris for decades. In the 1970s it was pull tabs and cigarette butts; in the 80s and 90s it was plastic bags, cigarette butts, syringes (we did not find the needles), and other random trash. I have not been to those beaches in ages.
It's about time, all the Businesses must be happy
You need to get permission to remove people’s private piles of junk from public space? So I could just build a house there and they would need my permission to come on the property?
Meanwhile, as a tax paying property owner in LA, I get fined for letting my plants get to tall.
@Shell m yes, I do pay taxes for everyone. That’s how taxes work. I guess you probably wouldn’t know if you contribute nothing.
In some communities that might require a formal eviction... 😂
Great job to the crew cleaning after someone's mess
If they can remove and get rid of ones belongings when they're evicted from a rental apartment or house, then the city should very damn well have right to rid of this also! They were warned with notice posted everywhere!! This is absolutely ridiculous to have all this mess. Hazmat crew, look how slowly they need to work in order not to be surprised with something dangerous or lethal. In our town the crew uses a bulldozer to load the garbage trucks.
It's sad that so many are Homeless in so many Major Cities Today. I guess that's how it goes when you giving up your struggle for self respect. Depression is no Joke.
@@jameskann951 this is what happens when people vote Democrat in the big cities for decades. It just gets worse and worse until you end up with the mess we are all looking at here. But people in these cities never seem to learn. Now the word "Socialism" is being thrown around like that is the magic pill to fix everything, which could not be farther from the truth. That is the proverbial flush of the toilet, to finish off these cities, and then the entire country. You voted these crooks in, and they are the mafia. They have no intention of helping anyone but themselves. They want people to be homeless, drug addicted, at odds with each other and shooting each other because they make money from it, and they aren't going to stop making things worse and worse because that is what they thrive on. For decades they have made housing more unaffordable, caused businesses to move elsewhere from crazy tax laws and regulations, and dismantled mental health facilities, only to replace them with jails. They are the true drug dealers, gun runners, and sex traffickers, they just hide it behind the false facade of being upstanding citizens looking out for everyone's well being. At least until recently, and now they really aren't even trying to hide it. They don't even care if we all know it now because they are running this shit show and we can't stop it. I am not sure if this mess could be fixed even if they were all removed from office and we started over because it has gone on for so long. When people want everything for free, those same people don't seem to understand that the money for all that free stuff has to come from somewhere. Then these same people cry, "take it from the rich". Well if you were rich, either from working hard all your life or even inherited it, would you continue to work hard to keep paying for people who just want everything handed to them, meanwhile you are losing a good percentage of what is yours? I doubt it. Most of the rich would either find a way to hide their money or just leave this country to a country that would not tax them as much. As a matter of fact they are already doing that. They would move their businesses also. Which means that joblessness would be everywhere in America and we would all be dirt poor, and then the real civil unrest would start and you wouldn't be able to find a safe place anywhere. These "Socialists" have no clue of the reality of what their utopian pipe dream really consists of. It has not worked in any other country and it won't work here. There are no easy answers to the problems we have, but free handouts for life and living on public land like this is not the answer. Neither is Socialism.
I hope they clean that sand at least 6 feet deep.. Never know what's buried under that sand... Needles, Guns, Dead people....etc
@ Hank Jr. Dang! I hadn't considered the dead bodies. They could have excavations going halfway to the Underworld under some of those larger tents and who would know what bodies are being buried there?
@@janetyamashige9573 Sure would be easy digging in sand
Too late. Hundreds of thousands of taxpayers, including myself, have moved to other states. And who in their right mind would want to vacation their? Bring in a new Governor!!
Watching city employees work is like watching grass grow. Instead of just standing there, pick something up and put it in the trash.
MIGHT CUT INTO THAT TAXPAYER OT CANT HAVE THAT LOL NOT IN CALI SHITHOLE
@RedLiver Your kidding, right? These guys have full benefits and making about $12.00 per. hr.
I was there last week , Venice in parts is sketchy , I’m glad they are trying to fix it .
Venice was sketchy when I was a teenager, tens of years ago. 😁
@@user-mv9tt4st9k it’s a beautiful place , I just don’t think it should be a open air mental asylum in one of the capitols of the known universe
This is what happens when being homeless, terminally mentally ill, and/or drug addicted becomes somehow glamorous. Instead of building stadiums, maybe we should face reality and develop solutions (including consequences) that actually are effective.
Being homeless, terminally mentally ill, and/or drug addicted is not what appears to be glamorous. The glamorous part is the glittering people who live in gated communities or on vast estates far, far away from realities like this who can sit in righteous judgment of those who have had enough of it on their doorsteps.
Sadly for America this is the penalty to be paid for too much Democracy , to much freedom , to many self opinionated people thinking they all know the answers to everything . Shut this bloody place down completely except for residents to allow these poor buggers get on with their rotten to the core job . The first tent to re-appear crush it straight away .
This would never happen in North Korea, do you know why?
That's the Democrats for you!!
@@paulmarsh8974 You mean Demo-rats.
This has nothing to do with too much democracy or freedom. It has to do with city leaders or state representatives who would rather create a protected class out of people who are so damaged that they do not live in reality and have become a point of pity. To suggest that this transient population not be allowed to disrupt those of us who are directly affected by them may likely offend their so-called big money supporters. 😒
I'd be wearing a hazmat suit if I was removing the filth inside these homeless camps!
Need to wear a hazmat suit just to go down to that beach.
Get a D9 Caterpillar and scrape the total area in one hour, load, and dump. This way it will take years.....
right on!!
I don’t think they can put the needles and all the nasty shit like that in the dumpster it Has to be picked up and disposed of properly safely
@@LLCNipsturBrands Hi Nipstur, Get a fine mesh screen and dump the sand in (maybe a depth of 30 inches). What filters through you leave at the beach and what is left goes to a landfill that is 50 feet deep or so. No one will dig in the dumps to get stuck with a needle. Just get it done fast....
You can guess most of that crap is either stolen or pilfered from a previous garbage dump.
Years ago when I did community service, we cleaned-up something similar at a park and they told us to go slow because these junkies hide needles in tight places and you have to be careful where you step-on and what you break to make it easy to fit in garbage cans. And, it was in the summer. Those people who don't sweep, or don't do any type of labor will not survive.
Honestly it’s killing me how slow these “workers” move. Should have just gone down the line with a machine
Thank you, Los Angeles Sanitation! We all owe you a great debt of gratitude for cleaning up this disaster area.
Wow what an ambitious bunch of city workers
About 3 years too late, but better late than never (homie voice)
Homie voice?
@@nikkij4873 Old cheech & chong quote
@@andrewfreeman88 nice!! That's hella old school :)
Three years or thirty-three years? Santa Monica has had a transient population stashed away for decades.
@@user-mv9tt4st9k sure you can go back decades, but it was never as bad as it was in the past 3 years.
The city should have brought a clam shell loader and a few dump trucks
I'll bet that these guys would love to jump into a pool, even the ocean. Good job!! And a high 5 to the Sherriff and crew!!!
Looked like 8-10 sanitation workers on scene with 2 doing actual work.
This is a new profession: "Homeless Encampment Cleanup Technician."
Bum removal specialist
@@user-zy3nv1jy1m that's the slang term.
Harzard Waste Technician!
Right. More Work opportunities. Yes do it
Shovel ready job! ...
Could the City find a slower, more inefficient way to clean this up? Nope, since the politicians directing this are the same ones who allowed it to happen in the first place.
10 hrs later still taking the first tent peg from the ground... Oh sorry, council workers!! I forgot about their 9:59 min coffee break.. lol
Don't kid yourselves. Do you see that furthest house? That's the edge of Venice Beach and the tents go as far as that. They can't even get rid of all that crap in front of them, imagine doing that for 40 more tents.
@Mia Zadora As long as homeless can occupy a new space faster than the authorities can enforce and clear a tent from an occupied space, it's impossible. I pass by the tents every single day and outreach, sanitation, police, are all outnumbered with no unified direction. They're all making more work for each other. Outreach creates trash. Sanitation is too outmanned to move overfilled dumpsters. Police are on ebikes out of shape forced to hand out food to people inside tents too lazy to pick up free food. They have all been neutered by Bonin. Take a good look at the outreach workers and tell me if anybody is working hard, because there's no incentive to do so.
@Mia Zadora What do you mean trying to work around very sketchy living situations? Maybe you did some work and God bless you for that but I've never heard of anybody actually being helped, and I see much of the same ones who leave end up coming back after some time. Even outreach won't help me because they think I'm just a homeless person who came to Venice to try and get housing. They don't understand that I am too paranoid to camp overnight after I've been assaulted while asleep. Even though I kept to myself once some people clocked me as HSTS I was hated and singled out even by some of the homeless. Now I sleep on the Expo and Red line during the day because it's safer than camping overnight. I am always on the move riding my bicycle after midnight until morning because it's safer and the trauma from being attacked by groups of people while I was sleeping in a tent never went away.
Dude the people that were here ...Got housing and they took some of their items with them...the German in Venice channel has everything on this......
Thank you for helpful information.
I have to comment on you your channel is the most cleanest professional respectful towards law-enforcement and city workers you don’t use language at people Most auditors who harass people for no reason but you are very professional thank you and I think a lot of people appreciate you and your channel
The city should never have let anyone set up camp there in the first place, no issues if you never let it happen.
It was against the law in the first place, so taking all this trash away is lawful. The authorities have been telling the homeless which are camped in Venice Beach to clear out. Don't act like they didn't know. Too long providing free camping, food, health care, hair cuts, showers and the like. These cleaners deserve a metal for doing this lack luster dangerous job. Hope they are being paid well. Get that homeless guy off his bike and let him clean his own room.
Look how inefficient this system is. Our government sucks so bad
Correction: the Los Angeles government sucks really bad. Here in Tampa Bay this shit is illegal, you can't camp the streets
Finally! Newsome’s doing all he can to keep from being recalled
Politicians that allowed this should be doing the cleaning, and not be paid !
Why isn't the cleanup crew throwing the trash in the trash truck as fast as they can pick it up and get rid of it?
I'm sick of the homeless, tired of their crap too. I was homeless when I came into Portland 20 yrs ago, hooked on crack, heroin, meth, etc. That only lasted 2 weeks then went to rehab, got clean, got a counselor who helped me find work. I've been employed full time ever since and have my own apartment, truck etc. What I didn't do was camp out somewhere and call it home. I worked my ass off to get where I'm at, in other words I got off my ass and went to work. I did the right thing.
I hope all is still good for ya JR ♥️
Great idea. Clean it up so it will be ready when the homeless move back in.
I do not feel sorry for the homeless that live in this area. I am not heartless, but ponder.........My wife and I have worked hard all our life, and have a nice place, but many miles inland in the more hot desert area. Would I like to live near the beach? You bet. Do I wish I had a great view with a sea breeze, for sure, but even as hard working, tax paying folks, I can't live there, so I ask, why should non working people expect they can just set up a place to stay with a million dollar view, just because they want to? There is a lot of open land, empty fields the homeless can set up without causeing near the eyesore and trouble. OH! that right its not as much fun as living on a beach, leave the empty fields more inland to the hard working middle class.
this was long long overdue. Finally, the stupid sloppy authority is doing somehting. Vote these clowns out in the next election. Elect people who will enforce the laws and crackdown on gangsters and criminals.
Why are they searching just scoop it up and dump it then look for small stuff! This is not a criminal investigation!
keyboard warrior
@@joe-ek4ls lmao is that your retort to everyone?
Ummm...you'd think there are machines that can scoop everything up in 2 minutes.
yes, need a bulldozer or something
No hazardous materials allowed in landfill... must've been a huffer tent, see all the paint cans....
Doggy style really ?
If a bulldozer was brought in it might attract the attention of concerned citizens interested in blocking what progress is being made.
@@user-mv9tt4st9k excellent point!
They`re out there in the hot sun wearing protective suits cleaning up all that shit and not a single person offered them a cool drink!
Instead, they had to listen to countless empty headed liberals tell them they are wrong. Sad!!
Blah blah, its abaondoned crap on public land
Wish the government would do my home maintenance. I pay over $100 a month for trash pick up.
I feel so bad for everyone in this situation. I feel terrible for the businesses and the residents dealing with this nonsense for too long. I feel bad for the homeless because they are literally losing the little they just had..homeless or not, you deserve a right to have ur stuff. I feel terrible for the workers because they are just trying to do their very dangerous job of cleaning. Hopefully, everyone will end up happy and safe from this outcome
You’re a good person💜
@@shakkeappeal no. U r! 😘
Good thing these guys aren't getting paid by the pound. They would starve. It takes three to watch one guy stir things.
No, they have to make sure no needles or shit is in the way....human waste
These workers are literally taking their lives in their hands...
Makes no sense for people to invade the beach like that, and turn it into a waste land of filth..
Recall Gavin Newsome for destroying public spaces and small businesses! Los Angeles Latinas for Trump!🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Un believable the city let this happen. The money spent studying the issue could solve the issue providing to the needs of these unfortunate people. Shame on politicians.
This is great to see, homeless people need to be homed and not allowed to be in areas where they are can become lost to society. I do not agree with people who complain that this is wrong. What is actually wrong is to do nothing about the two problems here. People without the means to be homed and people who complain about it but do nothing about it.
Homing the homeless is a wonderful ideal. However, the reality is that many of them do not want to be housed. Housing means there are conditions, like not acting out, partying, or accumulating vast amounts of stuff. In some shelters, lights are not turned off and the residents are not treated with dignity. It might not be that way everywhere, but that is how homeless people have described to me what a typical shelter might look like. The consequences of choosing to drop out of life to live on the streets doing drugs or other self-harm should not be protected status to block public streets or sidewalks, or allowed by law to loiter or sleep on a business owner's property.
HOW DO YOU LET THEM, GET TO THIS POINT... SHAME ON THESE CITIES.
Politicians call this garbage, "personal property"! Well, their personal property will be stored at the nearest waste management container/site.
"One man's trash is another man's treasure."
Sadly, that is someone's home and personal property. It is easy for a someone (politicians) to guilt others when they themselves are not directly affected by it. Misplaced terms of dignity will prevent them from offending potential big money campaign donors.
These guys are heroes! Please watch out for needles and other sharp objects.
Poor people cleaning up this mess, hope they stay safe
I agree, I have seen so many times a trash can 2 feet from them, they chose to toss it in the street or leave it where they sit.
A public beach is not a living space it is a recreation area!
I don’t see them cleaning nothing up the mess is still there. They just standing there wasting time.
God Bless you people cleaning 🧹 great feeling to watch this video
Look how fast and efficient these sanitation workers are. California Union boys.
Looks like the band on straws is working.
keyboard warrior
Lol
If the workers moved any slower, they'd be statues. I'm sure the city pays them well. 😒
Open your eyes knucklehead. You didn't notice? they were digging for drug needles and documenting them..it's not a rush job dude..
Wow. You’re really an idiot.
It’s obvious by watching the video that they’re being careful what they’re getting into, drugs and stuff like that.
@@josecarranza7555 what, . 3or 4 of them standing off to the side shooting the bull, C' mon man!
@@twd1953 So fucking what. Have you ever done this kind of work before, you pansy?
They pace themselves in the heat, plus they were working too.
👍 Good Ban tents enforce curfew time like echo Park.
WoW!? Does it really take 5+ people on tax payer money to clean up one tent....if you watch the whole video....this "clean-up" is all for show ....in reality, these homeless encampments strung up and down the beach are just gonna come right back after the temporary housing and hotel vouchers run out plus it just moves more of these people to replace the temporary housed...
Worse governor and mayor doesn't help the root of California's/L.A.'s homeless issues...their just taking billions of tax dollars and lining their own special interest.
The locals should break the law and start shoveling that pile into the truck...
Gascon won't prosecute for simple misdemeanors, right?
Take your streets back
These images make me happy! Best wishes from the Netherlands!
Put them in tent citys 30 miles from the nearest city offer them rehab skill training and job placement programs
I actually like that idea, my husband has talked about that. Thirty miles is my backyard and we have it under control. Sort of...
There are desert communities sixty miles away that might be perfect for something like that.
At that pace is going to take them one day a camp for clean up
Someone should go over the encampment areas with a metal detector and a fine tooth comb to get up all sharp debris that could injure someone's foot.
Got to have regular patrols, no loitering and no sleeping on pavement or beach.
Social welfare services must kick in and manage the problem. Failing that just drop the homeless folk off at the white house. Let Joe, Jill and Hunter sort it out.
I love how slow and aimless these workers are. I could never get away with THAT pace at my job. Am a RN. AFSCME workers always amaze me;)
Maybe thats where the money for the homeless is spent
You might be confusing that with the salaries paid to the oversight committes or boards created to sit down and discuss ways to continue to enable this situation to continue...
you can tell their government workers by the fact that only half work while the others stand about talking
I like how they are all just standing around... what a waste of money... no productivity... I'd fire them all
This area is to be enjoyed by everyone. Enforce it..
Work : 10 %
Talk : 90 %
We baby homeless, they are grown adults! Look what they do to public places it's disgusting, God bless these guys for cleaning up all these people's trash and filth.
Do they still have the Beachcombing machines there ?
Most So Cal beaches still do, though they usually run at night.
They will just get new tents from the activists.
About time CA enforced their laws...
What a nightmare. Throw it all out. Good work.
