this whole mattress situation is ridiculous. There should be some way that folks can access the landfill or pay a reasonable price for haulers to take stuff like this away from the neighborhoods. the problem is much worse where there are apartment buildings and/or people do not have a vehicle.

As of January 26 Stopwaste of Alameda county is putting up $25,000 in incentives to a local mattress recycler. Mattresses prices on a sliding scale $12 for king size to $6 for twin. The bounties should be on the scumbags that keep on doing all the illegal dumping. More info at the Stopwaste website.

I just reported cardboard boxes dumped behind CVS pharmacy on the sidewalk with the perps Name and address on them. He dumped in 94602 from 94605. I published his name and address on my Click Fix report. Hope the city fine him!

Excellent

Just read David Coleman's comment - hope this is widely publicized - I will publish on my neighborhood listserv.

Here are today's photos after I re-opened this report. Not quite sure why Public Works saw fit to close it. Really??

I reported this landlord 6 MONTHS AGO TODAY. He can evict tenants but he can't provide them with adequate dumpsters? Really??

The City of Oakland addressed this issue on 03/03/2015, service request #564353.

Thanks for fixing this request!
