Description
White male, early 40s, 6'3", white Toyota Tacoma, CA License Plate number59395K1 seen here dumping garbage on the street. I approached him to take photos, he became enraged and threatened me then burned rubber around my building and took off. The woman who witnessed this with me was on her way home and just called to let me know she just now saw him at Lake Merrit dumping garbage. I will file a second complaint with accompanying photos.

Very well done!
If you call the police non-emergency number (510) 777-3333 to report dumping in progress, as they recommend, you will likely sit on hold while the dumper drives off, but you can make the report.

Tips for submitting evidence:
Photos of vehicle license plates are ideal. If a photo is not available, write down the license plate number.
Include time, date and location.
Include your contact info – the City must contact you to verify evidence.
More information is always better – photos of company names or logos on vehicles involved in dumping may be helpful.
Avoid confrontation when documenting illegal dumping incidents.
