Riverside County follows a written encampment cleanup protocol that requires advance notice, individual outreach, and storage of unattended personal property for at least ninety days before disposal. Hazardous waste and abandoned items can be removed immediately.
Under Lavan v. City of Los Angeles and related Fourth Amendment cases, Riverside County provides a posted notice typically 72 hours in advance of a scheduled cleanup. Outreach workers from Path of Life Ministries and RUHS-Behavioral Health attempt to connect residents with shelter, mental health services, and substance use treatment. Personal property that is not biohazardous and appears to belong to identifiable individuals must be bagged, tagged, and stored in a county facility for at least ninety days, where owners can reclaim it without charge. Hazardous waste, soiled bedding, and clearly abandoned items may be disposed of immediately.
Improper destruction of personal property can lead to civil rights claims under 42 USC 1983 and state-law conversion damages.
