Pigs!

City of Oakland Public Works Agency addressed this issue on 11/16/2012, service request # 433590.

The trash was removed but the oil was left behind AGAIN. This is the same oil that has been there since at least 9/27 when Larry Reid assured us the trash would be picked up that same day. Twice illegal dumping with it has been removed and the oil left behind.

See issue 240010 when this was reported on 9/28.

It is my understanding that the oil is not picked up by Public Works, I believe it is picked up by the Fire Department. My past experience with the pickup of oil on Golf Links Road, it has taken about six months before it gets picked up. This of course is unacceptable!. Normally yellow caution tape is put around the oil containers which has not been done in this case. And of course the longer the oil remains the increased likelihood that more illegal dumping will occur, which in this case has happened once already. Just shameful!
