City of Oakland Public Works Agency addressed this issue on 09/12/2013, service request # 479444.

The wrong bags were picked up - the bags across the street were my neighbor's leaves and he takes care of that. This was one single bag - someone put rocks on top of it to hold it shut. There is rotting flesh of some type in this bag - please be careful picking it up.

Thank you.

City picked up one bag but managed to leave the empty bag covering it, the gloves they used and the broken piece of pipe that fell out of the bag. It's sad that this is going to take three tries (if not more) to take care of this when one trip could have done it.
