How do I sign up for debris removal? When will ROE (Right of Entry) forms be available?

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has started Phase 1 of the debris removal process and is currently performing fire debris assessments and household hazardous waste removal activities in Malibu.

Phase II debris removal operations are now underway, with details available at LA County’s recovery portal. Residents have until March 31, 2025, to submit their Right of Entry (ROE) forms, which allows them to ‘Opt-In’ or ‘Opt-Out’ of government-sponsored Phase 2 cleanup operations. By opting into the program, residents authorize the Army Corps of Engineers to conduct comprehensive property services including hazard and environmental resource assessments, safe removal of asbestos, hazardous trees and debris, as well as the demolition of destroyed structures and removal of damaged vehicles.

Any contractors looking to assist in the debris removal process must obtain a Malibu Hauler permit.
