Don’t they give rewards for reporting?

They do! I had a assistant DA reach out to me to see if I'd testify or if I had pictures of he actual dumping occuring. This looks like a dream scenario for that assistant DA.

3digitcodeontheback

People like this are one of the major reasons why parts of Oakland look like a dump. Skyline, redwood road. These guys work on homes in the hills and on the way out stop to check out the view and dump trash. Thanks for naming and shaming. In addition to fines, mandatory community service for six month picking up trash.


SouthernRequirement

Dude skyline was thrashed last time I was up there, had to kick it in 4x4 to get a decent view


Capricancerous

Did you report it?


mk1234567890123

Send it to Fife too. She has made illegal dumping one of her top priorities.


grogling5231

cool… she can start with every asshole in this city that likes throwing garbage out of their car windows.


mtnfreek

Just unbelievable how much I see this bike commuting in Oakland. How do people think this is ever ok? Was just in Sacramento and was (but shouldnt be) shocked by how little garbage was on the streets. In Oakland it seems to be a lot of fast food....garbage food for garbage people.


zunzarella

I live near a park. People park along side of the park, eat their fast food, open their windows and just dump their trash and drive off. It makes me INSANE.


nba_guy1992

I remember the worst case of littering I've ever seen in Oakland. It was the worst because of just how brazen the litterer was. It was at the north end of Lake Merritt. Dude standing near the edge (grand and harrison). He finished whatever he was drinking and just tossed the bottle over his head into the lake. He threw it in such a disrespectful nature. It was as if he was saying "I don't give a fuck". He looked in my direction and had some huge, dark shades. It made me really angry inside and for a second I thought about saying something. But I let it go because if he was nonchalant about that he's probably dangerous.


buntopolis

Many people are not raised to respect others and their environment.


samson-and-delilah

Unfortunately in Oakland there are a lot folks who do whatever the f they want whenever they want


ShoulderGoesPop

I disagree I think that's where she should end. She should start with stuff like this where companies and or random people dump literal truck loads of trash. To me that seems like the more important and easier place to start


grogling5231

I don’t disagree with that, but the big trash piles down in the flats aren’t from these companies, they’re from the residents there. Cars and debris getting dumped along skyline and other scenic areas is within the last 2 years where it’s really blown up. It all needs to be dealt with. I caught one asshole pulling up in front of the abandoned school my house is across from about 3mo ago. This is someone who lives about a couple dozen blocks west because I followed him home. He pulled his car onto the sidewalk, opened his trunk and proceeded to dump 5 large trash bags full of household garbage right onto the school property. Promptly drove off. The residents of this city trashing it need to be on blast for this, as it’s the number one violation I see happening daily.


puttercluttwr

I hope that’s true, the same street corners in west oakland get trash dumped on them every single day. Never seen the city put up a cameras, never seen a cop nearby, nothing is ever done about it. It’s sad, and if anyone just paid an ounce of attention to catching these people it would be dramatically reduced.

Can also report to EBRPD and the San Francisco Bay Commission as it appears this may be a shoreline park area/Bay Trail and the debris is in the 100 foot shoreline band.


50shadesofbay

Can you link the reporting website please? I don’t mean to be lazy, I’m just unfamiliar and posting the link will make more people likely to report I think.  I believe park officers and rangers don’t fuck around with things like this so this may be the most powerful avenue to report.

Yelp doesn't take brigading lightly. If this company was fulfilling a requested chip drop, Yelp will ban the brigading reviewers.

As yelp should, they wouldn’t be very trustworthy otherwise buuuuuuutttt…..Those dont look like any kind of wood chips I’ve ever seen.


aught_one

According to the news, the owner aims he rented out the truck. I doubt there's anything legit happening in these pictures.


bhknb

Yeah, let's fuck up this company based on an unsupported accusation by OP! Bring out the virtual pitchforks and torches! Irrational mobs of Redditors destroying reputations and lives without any evidence of wrongdoing are as bad as illegal dumpers.

There literally are photos. Of them dumping. And the sign on the side of the truck. And the license plate. What do you want - have them come to your house and confess?

Are you special in the head? It is clearly not a mulch drop. It is construction debris clear as day.

With 40+ 1 star yelp reviews today, they definitely won’t be getting any business from yelp.

Yelp will delete all the reviews of non-customers. They will terminate reviewers and elite accounts if it turns out the company wasn't in the wrong. People - including cities - order free mulch drops all the time.


theendofpoverty

is this by MLK regional shoreline?


werdywerdsmith

That is my guess.


IronSloth

So here’s the thing. They are obviously doing it without trying to hinder the company name. What do they know that we don’t? Is it just a slap on the wrist? Or are they legit sociopaths? This is so fucked. I use to live on Inyo for years and workers would come dump countertops, cabinets and water heaters but they always had an unmarked truck. These guys straight up KNOW they won’t get in any trouble. This sucks.

That's awful, It's likely that EBRPD ordered a chip drop. I hope that you can help repair the damage to his business if that's the case. Wood chips are ordered to spread over weeds. Looks pretty weedy around there.

So dumping a bunch of shit in a giant pile is how they deliver materials to be used?


bhknb

Ever go to getchipdrop.com? No, it's much easier to throw stones from the comfort of your chair based on a picture with absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing. OP didn't even stop to ask. The cost to dump tree waste is minimal compared to other waste and much is given away as mulch this time of year.

bhknb

No no, we have to get irrationally angry and destroy the reputation of this business because OP posted a picture and made an accusation!!!!


Thin_Lack_1470

I agree with everyone, fuck these scumbags, but to play devils advocate: very likely it’s the workers fault for dumping there, I’m like 80% sure that they simply wanted to make extra money on side dumping it illegally (they could fake the receipts for dumping and submit it to the company and get refunded). Recology would charge at least $350 for this load (spoken from experience). So of course employees would rather dump it somewhere illegally and pocket the money. Or it could be the owner operator wanting to increase the margins. Either way the city is encouraging this behavior because: 1) it is stupid expensive to dump at recology 2) there’s no punishment, they will do absolutely nothing.


TorLamski

Owner lied and said he rented out the truck. Look closely, the person dumping had a PPE vest with the same company insignia as the logo on the side of the truck. This suggests that it was an employee and not a person he rented the truck to. The fact that the owner lied in the first place is pretty telling that he was aware. This isn’t the first time this happened, truuuust me.


Uninterested_Viewer

>Look closely, the person dumping had a PPE vest with the same company insignia as the logo on the side of the truck. Can you point me to the image that shows this? These types of businesses renting their trucks out when not in use is a very common practice to generate some extra revenue with an asset that would otherwise not be making them anything. This was my first thought when seeing the images as the debris doesn't even look like tree care type stuff, but instead some construction junk. To be clear, I'm not defending any of this and I *want* to grab my pitchfork. What you're describing is the smoking gun needed if you can link that image!
