CAL FIRE South Bay – Station 15 and Los Osos Community Services District wants to advise Los Osos Residents and property owners that the Annual Fire Hazard Abatement Inspections are starting April 6, 2026.

All properties within the District boundaries containing hazardous vegetation and other flammable materials, that constitute a public nuisance, shall be abated as per Los Osos CSD Fire Code, Health and Safety Code and Public Resources Code. Hazardous weeds are defined by the California Health and Safety Code Section 14875, as dry grass, brush, poison oak, litter, or other flammable material that created a fire hazard.

The acceptable methods of fire hazard reductions are:

• To mow grasses and small shrubs to a height of not more than 4 inches;
• To cut dead brush and thin brush patches and remove it by hauling or chipping over a scattered area;
• To haul other flammable debris, and trash to a landfill.

Inspections begin April 6th so be sure to abate NOW to help protect our community from a wild fire.

Due to climactic differences in the county, SLO Waterwise Landscaping provides a watering guide to residents for different types of landscaping.

The website, www.slowaterwiselandscaping.com, also has a tool that allows users to browse hundreds of beautiful landscape photos and zoom in on a selected plant.  Detailed plant photos and plant information are then displayed, enabling users to select and print a customized plant list. The website’s resources section provides additional tips on landscape design, soil preparation, planting, efficient irrigation techniques, in addition to the watering guides for the county’s different climate zones.

Not everything belongs in your trash or recycling cart. Items like batteries, paint, chemicals, and e-waste are considered Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) and need to be handled safely.

Improper disposal can harm the environment and even cause fires.

The good news? Safe and free disposal options are available right here in SLO County.

A quick check before you toss it makes a big difference
