The scene today. I put these up on their Facebook page, and surprise, surprise, they just cleaned it up. But the dumpsters should not be sitting on the street in the first place.

Hm, I put the pic up on their Facebook page, and they have at least cleaned up the mess. I'm told the dumpsters will be gone shortly, and the other company that parks theirs in the street is moving. So at this point our goal is to make sure whatever businesses move in don't continue the practice.

None of these businesses has been a good neighbor. How many of those disgusting hair nets have you cleaned up from your yard? Not to mention paper, shredded documents, snack wrappers?

mw thank you for the effort to bad it takes public shaming for them understand there is a problem.

Yes, thank you, mw.

Yeah, after cleaning it the guy emailed me to say someone else was going through it and dumping stuff on the ground. I said yeah, that happens, I pick litter up out of my yard every day (including hairnets from you guys). It's not my fault by I take responsibility for keeping my space clean and I wish you would too.

If only!

City of Oakland Public Works Department addressed this issue on 12/10/2015, service request # 619766.

The dumpsters were emptied, and the company vacating the building had their people pick up the trash around it. But now the property is empty and there are still four dumpsters and a couch sitting in street parking spaces on Adeline. I was hoping that the code prohibiting leaving a dumpster in the street (as the company there did for years) would be enforced. Thank you.

The dumpsters are gone, but the couch and a bunch of trash are moved to the sidewalk. This was left behind by Alive and Radiant Foods, which vacated the space this month.
