That particular pile of trash has been cleared up, but more has accumulated since. This is a favorite dumping ground for passersby and people stopping in vehicles. The school district cleans it up once in a while, but trash and garbage and sometimes hazardous materials are usually left there for weeks at a time, within a few feet of children playing on the other side of the fence at the Highland Childrens Center. The school district needs to do regular (as in, once every day) maintenance of this strip of their land in order to keep trash and garbage from constantly accumulating.

This area remains a target for trashing. Please keep this issue open until OUSD develops and implements a program to both limit the trashing of this property and clean up trash in a more timely manner.

Close.
