This is terribly ridiculous! What else can we do to eliminate this kind of mentality in our neighborhood? Can we make signs in areas this occurs the most? Can the city provide some garbage cans? Can we get homeowners or tenants to clean up litter in and around their own property? Can we have incentives for good behavior? I'd be willing to help in the clean-up cause!!
It might not even be the people who live in the area..it could be people coming from outside using our City as a dump. Noel Gallo always has a cleaning crew every weekend if you are interested.
I agree, it more than likely is people from other areas dumping in our neighborhood. I'd love to join in on clean up. I'll check out the city's website for the information.
If everyone picked up litter around their own house as well it would improve a lot. I'm also out every other Saturday picking up trash in the neighborhood.
Thanks for letting me know about Noel Gallo's group!
Check out Keep Oakland Beautiful.org web site they work with public works. They supply our volunteer group with large plastic and green waste bags, gloves, safety vests and pick up sticks.
