Protests erupted outside Calabasas Landfill as local residents voiced concerns over plans to dump 5,000 tons of fire debris per day following severe wildfires. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers commenced a cleanup operation, with the landfill chosen among others to manage the waste. Local leaders expressed strong opposition to this plan, fearing it could pose health risks and environmental hazards due to its proximity to residential areas. They called for alternative disposal methods to mitigate potential future disasters linked to improper waste management.
"Let us be toxic free," chanted the group, which included children and families. "No dumping!" they cried out.
The urgency of the recovery phase and efforts to remediate one disaster is laying the foundation for future public health and environmental catastrophes that will affect Calabasas residents.
