Ocean Front Walk got a surprise cleanup this Friday morning starting at 1 am. Sanitation crew went from Navy to Windward Circle and then from Windward Circle to 18th.
Los Angeles Environmental Officer Howard Wong said they removed 2.5 tons of garbage from Ocean Front Walk. They bagged and tagged 15 bags and 8 bikes. They removed 15 feces, 15 syringes, and an undisclosed amount of paint, insecticide and urine.
Wong and his crew got to Third at 7:45. This time they barricaded the street, which allowed the sanitation trucks and the garbage truck and crew to move freely. Wong said his crew expected to have about 2 tons removed from Third.
Homeless had pushed items they didn’t want over the curb into the street. Wong did say he still had to go thru it but it was much easier this way. Wong explained that a discarded, over-the-curb, suitcase had to be opened to see what was inside.
