I don't see.a white van in the picture or any other cars near the garbage. Have you actually witnessed them there throwing that trash on the ground? Some homeless people can be their own worst enemy because a lot of them leave a mess. Not all homeless people leave a mess, so if you have not seen them throwing the trash out there you can't say they did. People that are not homeless are usually the ones that throw out piles of trash and drive away. Homeless messes are usually a result of them living in one place for a period of time with no garbage pick up and no place to put their garbage. The messes are usually left behind when they leave and stay somewhere else. If you have seen them throwing the trash out why didn't you say something to them. Since you obviously don't live there, and it doesn't sound like you have any real reason for getting involved, why are you? Walmart should take responsibility for keeping their parking lot clean. If there is a homeless encampment in the parking lot, as a business they need to take the steps required to resolve the problem. They can contact the police or speak to the campers straight out. It seems to me this clickfix site has created some busy body types that get involved in situations that don't involve them. People that make assumptions about things they see without knowing for a fact they are correct in their assumptions are not nice or caring people. If there is an encampment and walnart has a problem with it, they have the right to complain because it is in their parking lot and it can have an affect on them. If it was in your yard or next to your house and it was affecting you in some way, then it is your business. Unless someone hired you to be the homeless police try having a little compassion for the people in the van if they are truly homeless. Start by minding your own business. If people have a problem that affects them and their home or they don't feel safe in their home they should report it. Let the people that are affected by a situation decide what to do about it. Spend more time minding your business not other peoples. Be thankful you don't have to live in a van. They have enough to deal with, they don't need random people butting in and making accusations about things they have no first hand knowledge about.

Clickfix should not encourage people to go around looking for problems.

I also do not see a homeless encampment or squatters. Either or would require people be present and living in the so called encampment. A pile of garbage does not make an encampment.

Thanks for reporting the FILTH around this city because it IS our business. Too bad we can't leave the blinders on but then the GARBAGE, GRAFFITI, AND PILES OF DUMPED ITEMS wouldn't get picked up or cleaned!! Thanks for looking around, residents of Vallejo, so it can all get cleaned out of the marshes, from around railroad tracks, empty buildings, empty lots, city sidewalks, freeway and street easements, ETC. We all LIVE HERE and have to see the blighted private and public properties with dumped mattresses, furniture, tires, bags of garbage, etc. that attract vermin and crime. We SHOP here. So now after an explosion of people dumping around town, HOMELESS AND NOT HOMELESS, more work has been created due to the negative ripple effect. We've been advised that we can adopt a street and keep it clean; maybe we'll be given free garbage bags to clean up the trash. CLEAN around your home and little neighborhood and please keep minding the business of KEEPING VALLEJO CLEAN. Thank you residents of Vallejo for reporting any and all homeless encampments where there have been fires, arrests made and garbage & excrement left behind. Thank you Seeclickfix for providing this avenue for reporting as we are told to be the "eyes and ears" of our COMMUNITY of Vallejo. Thank you Code Enforcement and VPD for private property clean up and Public Works for picking up 1000s of pounds of dumped items from around town.

Another Big Thank You for all who perform this Thankless Job!!
This is the business of citizins who reside here & pay taxes.
Wake up People!! Our town is a disgrace!.

Yes, thank you for reporting it! And thank you to the folks that have to clean it up. dl - it's not your job to tell people what to do. It doesn't matter who is dumping the garbage, it's wrong. If you feel so strongly, why don't you be thankful you don't live in a van, and go pick up the garbage that was thrown out.

Do you see a homeless encampment in that picture? Do you see squatters in that picture? NO all you see is garbage. So all your accusations and all aj's statistics don't make a pile of garbage thrown on the ground a homeless encampment. Get real and its obvious you feel like you are better human beings then homeless people but your ignorance proves otherwise. You assume homeless people are responsible for all the garbage dumped all over the city but what do you know. Do they camp out in the open? No they don't because camping is illegal in vallejo. Do they bother to take their garbage with them when they leave their hidden camp? Well according to aj the homeless expert they do not. So if it bothers you all so much why not do something about it instead of making up lies to teport to this site. All you great examples of ...well I can't think of anything to call you that would be as wonderful as what you call yourselves, quit talking about how great you are for sitting around judging people you don't even know and complaining about the messes everywhere and how much it bothers you. Step up and do something. Don't be such a smartass qt and take your own advice. Go pick up the garbage or are you too good to be proactive. Is complaining and blaming and gathering statistics about how horrible the people that are less fortunate are, by the way..
. you make perfect role models for all of us out here who don't do all tjose wonderful things you guys do. When was the last time you thought maybe putting a garbage can out and coming back to pick it up later to dump it. I know... never. If you are going to report a pile of garbage there is a catagory for that. It doesn't begin with homeless!

THANKS AGAIN Code Enforcement for the clean up of OUR CITY. THANKS to you, Vallejo Fire Department, Public Works, residents of Vallejo and VPD for your support of HOMELESS AND NOT HOMELESS who continue to TRASH our city for whatever reason. You put out the fires in marshes (camping out in the open), near places of business, abandoned buildings, vacant houses, enlist clean up of drug paraphernalia, excrement, make arrests for concealed weapons or outstanding warrants, refer to resources (even though you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink), ETC. YOU go above and beyond the call to keep OUR CITY CLEAN.
