La Sanitation & Environment

As the lead agency for the City of Los Angeles' environmental programs and initiatives, LA Sanitation protects public health and the environment through the administration and management of three major program areas: Clean Water (Wastewater), Solid Resources (Solid Waste Management) and Watershed Protection (Stormwater). These infrastructure programs collect, treat, recycle and dispose of the solid and liquid waste generated by the nation’s second largest city of more than four million residents. Through these essential Public Works programs, LA Sanitation delivers a triple bottom line of economic, environmental and social benefits that sustain the quality of life in Los Angeles.
