City crews remove mountains of debris from Los Angeles ’trash house’

City crews are continuing a second day of clearing mountains of debris from a Fairfax neighborhood home known as “Trash House” on Thursday. Neighbors said they’ve been complaining about the odorous plastic trash bags piled high in front of the home in the 600 block of North Martel Avenue for months but officials had not taken action. However, one day after KTLA brought attention to the issue, local Councilwoman Katy Yaroslavsky said her team would work “with urgency“ to resolve the issue. Sanitation workers, some wearing hazmat suits, spent all day removing tons of debris from the home. Many objects were found buried under the piles of rubbish including a vehicle — an old Toyota Celica.   KTLA’s Kimberly Cheng reports on April 4, 2024.
