Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation

As the lead agency for Los Angeles' environmental programs and initiatives, LA Sanitation (LASAN) protects public health and the environment through the administration and management of three program areas: Clean Water (wastewater), Solid Resources (solid waste management), and Watershed Protection (stormwater).

These infrastructure programs collect, treat, recycle, and dispose the solid and liquid waste generated by the nation’s second-largest city of more than four million residents. Through these essential public service programs, LA Sanitation delivers a triple bottom line of economic, environmental, and social benefits that sustain the quality of life in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation received a 2018 Better Project Award for implementing a digester biogas generation & CHP project at its Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant to produce electricity and heat, reducing the plant’s energy intensity by 37% in two years.

Los Angeles Bureau of Sanitation achieved their initial energy intensity reduction goal in 2018
