Los Angeles launched Shine L.A., a volunteer beautification program to remove trash ahead of the 2028 Olympics. City officials must comply with a June 2026 legal deadline to remove 9,800 homeless encampments and meet a state requirement to divert 75% of organic waste from landfills. Barbara Romero, appointed bureau chief in 2021, announced she will leave at the end of the year after four and a half years and did not disclose a reason or next position. The mayor's office thanked her for her service, while environmental advocates expressed frustration and noted her role securing sewer and wastewater funding.
