I called this in yesterday and Public Works indicated they couldn't pick it up because it was considered HazMat. It had to be referred to the Fire Dept. However, the person on the phone said that the yellow caution tape indicated that the HazMat unit had already "assessed" it and it should be taken away soon. I saw a special type of Waste Management truck parked right next to it yesterday. I am not sure which agency is actually responsible for hauling it out of there, but it has been there for at least a week.

Dear Sir or Madam,

City of Oakland Public Works Agency referred this issue to hazmat, at the Oakland Fire Department, service request # 408848. Please contact that agency to follow-up. For more information, please visit the “Helpful Links to Other Resource Partners” at the link below.
