Environmental Programs Division

Los Angeles County Public Works, Environmental Programs Division (EPD) is dedicated to preserving the environment and protecting public health through a variety of innovative functions. EPD proactively implements and administers programs in the areas of solid waste recycling and disposal, landfill design, hazardous and industrial waste management, underground storage tanks, and industrial wastewater discharge to public sewer systems.

One of EPD's long-term goals is to research and implement state-of-the-art technologies to convert municipal solid waste into electricity, green fuel, and other useful products. Such vision and ambition demonstrate EPD's commitment toward fostering communities where residents live and work in a safe, clean, and sustainable environment, through engineering and ingenuity.
