Dear Sir or Madam:
Thank you for contacting the Public Works Agency regarding this matter. However, additional information is needed before your request can be processed. Is there currently illegal dumping that needs to be picked up? if so please provide a location. Regarding the "moving company", please provide the name of the business and address so that we may look into this matter. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Tips for submitting evidence:
Photos of vehicle license plates are ideal. If a photo is not available, write down the license plate number.
Include time, date and location.
Include your contact info – the City must contact you to verify evidence.
More information is always better – photos of company names or logos on vehicles involved in dumping may be helpful.
Avoid confrontation when documenting illegal dumping incidents.

Will you pursue this incidence of illegal dumping with the photo "anonymous" provided, or does it have to come from "the public"?
Thanks for your (Sisyphean!) hard work picking up after the scofflaws!

Dear Sir or Madam,
Some additional information is needed before we are able to submitt this information to the City Attorney's office. The City Attorney's office will need to speak with witnesses of the illegal dumping to verify the information. Also, we will need to know if there is currently any illegal dumping at this moment and the location.
Thank you.

Dear DPW:
To be clear:
I am not the original, Anonymous poster.
I did not take the photo; nor do I live in the neighborhood.
I merely provided a "lead" to info ("the "moving company" based on west side of Adeline in 2700 block") included in the original post.
I cannot answer the questions the City Attorney needs answered.
