I called this in to PWD call center and I also contacted Waste Management also before reporting on SCF. We had to help a visually impaired woman get around this dumpster. I called OPD maybe they can move this thing or get it moved. The City of Oakland likes to wait for the worst before reacting.

The City of Oakland Call Center has referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).
