La Habra prohibits dumping trash, debris, and discards on public and private property, including alleys and vacant lots. The City may require vacant lots to be fenced to prevent dumping, and illegal dumping is enforced as a code violation reportable to the Code Enforcement Hotline.
The City of La Habra addresses illegal dumping through its property-maintenance, nuisance, and weed-and-rubbish abatement provisions rather than a single standalone dumping code section identified online. The City's "How to be a Good Neighbor" guidance directs that discards, trash, debris, and junk accumulations must be promptly removed from the exterior of any property, and that residents must keep abutting alleys clear of accumulated litter, debris, discards, and weeds. Dumping refuse on another person's property, in alleys, or on vacant lots is a nuisance that the City can abate. For vacant and undeveloped parcels, the Director of Community Development may require the lot be secured with a fence specifically to preclude illegal dumping and to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
Dumping trash, debris, or discards on public or private property, in alleys, or on vacant lots is an abatable nuisance under the City's property-maintenance and Chapter 6.20 provisions. Report to the Code Enforcement Hotline (562-383-4143); fine amounts unverified.
