The clean-up is being facilitated by the police department's CAT team and a local company has been contracted to remove the debris.
The project is being paid for with money from the city's General Fund.
The CAT team estimates that about 100 people have been living in the riverbed. Notices to campers are posted at least 72 hours before clean-up begins.
Police say the clean-up effort will continue until access to the riverbed is limited by rain.
