We the people of Oakland and City Officials have to find a way to deal with scofflaw and contempt for the City of Oakland and its people.

Is there a reasonable Justification for throwing anybody's trash and/or garbage into any city's streets?

I hear you. This is a social justice issue for all of us who have other competing demands & priorities for day to day subsistence & survival, while the more privileged strata whose environments are not cluttered with trash and the ongoing health problems it produces are not bothered by day to day trash in front of their homes. More paid cleanup teams and trucks and cleaning equipment are needed now. Oakland flatlands are dirty. Large dumping sites are more obvious, but day to day trash accumulation in neighborhoods, on sidewalks and curbside in street gutters are health hazards too.

The issues in illegal dumping are sanitation and health. Social status is something else.

There are plenty of rich people who have no conscience if means saving money to having there crap dumped away from there homes. I live a block above Hwy 580 we used to have this problem we now have volunteers and also take donation to have litter removed daily. If we can we haul illegal dumped crap to our adopt a spot pick up location. Illegal dumper are reported and hounded. If you want your neighborhood take it back the is not going to help. We now only have a few homeless and they stay well hidden and cause very little problems.

Social status, as I see it, is central to Oakland's social ecology, the injurious effects of class, gendered and racialized stratification, and the epidemiology of cumulative, trash-related, environmental health hazards.
