you would think there would be enough patrols in this area to catch more of these trash-hoodlums

Amazing nobody saw or heard this. As far as patrols go as with SCF the city expects its PRO-BONO citizens to do all that work. Put in cameras, file reports to the law corps ect. Now how long will this sit here before some tax payer employed workers show up????

Oakland really needs solutions..

Pickups have been lagging about a week behind reports of illegal dumping posted here. Waste Management has negotiated a slowdown of these pickups with the City of Oakland, in return for putting a price on compostable garbage pickups that isn't higher than regular garbage (see https://oaklandnorth.net/2015/10/09/oakland-city-council-votes-to-reduce-compost-collection-rates/ ).

While it's great that they've reconfigured the composting fees so that they make more sense to restaurants, I don't see why that has to come at the expense of the city's most neglected neighborhoods, which have started to resemble Calcutta during a garbage strike. This was bad enough before the backroom deal; it's gotten worse since then.

The idea of putting cameras up to capture footage of illegal dumping is good as far as it goes, but it won't do anything towards solving the problem without also assigning investigators to actually watch the tapes, identify the perpetrators, and prosecute them in a public manner. So far, the City hasn't done any of that.

Until they finish their coffee sometime next month....probably coming from that burnt home on 89th people doing some shady stuff hiding large trailers and cars with no plates inside

??#: regarding that suspect property -as you have the witness/location information - please call that in to OPD / make a report; and secondly report as blight.

Actually, someone is already out cleaning it. Mych appreciation.

The protocol may put a higher priority on it as it was noted as a traffic hazard. That said, the issue of prevention and enforcement needs to be front burner with the City which is unfortunately not yet happening

Bennett....we have various neighbor as a matter of fact, still nothing done. Seems like this is a lower priority, more higher criminal matters are keeping them occupied . Why the city trucks sit on our side street shooting the breeze some where else since last times caught them on video and sent it in. I know this is a super huge problem in our city and most of the time its outside residents who do this dumping but its been over six months with people coming to dump human feces next to us. Im just tired of the city employees excuses...sorry just venting

We probably need to send an email with pic to the entire list of officials downtown!!

That's an idea, just to see if they are paying attention, which they aren't. A good wake up call is what they need

Maybe there should be an exhibit of photographs at City Hall, documenting the plague of illegal dumping that's overwhelming parts of this city. I used to take pictures of beautiful things, but lately all I'm shooting is piles of garbage, debris, and junk. I have a feeling that many participants here would have a lot to contribute as well. They've sponsored a lot of "feel-good" art shows, but these are some of the "faces of Oakland" that they don't seem to want to face.

Its amazing what a little public shaming can accomplice. Maybe some techie can create a website or even a documentray SCF has all the illegal dumping photos in there data base. Please check out Littrati he part of our Keep Dimond Clean volunteers.

David, I maintain a permanent gallery of my favorite "Dumping in Oakland" photography, which might make a nice exhibit someday. Most have stories and as possible link back to the SCF or SC NOT Fixed case numbers. Please feel free to comment and add or share these images wherever you like
