GARBAGE

Still Piling

I received this helpful info from a friend in Ignacio de la Fuente's District. Good informaton and follow-through actions in case your trash hasn't yet been picked up.
________________________________________________

Keep your unemptied garbage on the curb, all 3 cans.

If Waste Management fails to provide collection by the end of your regular service day, report the service failure to WMAC Customer Service at 510-613-8710.
ALSO, report the failure to pick up to the City at our Recycling Hotline 510-238-SAVE (7283) or recycling@oaklandnet.com We will use this information for documentation in our legal actions.

AND, call Alameda County Environmental Health Department at 567-6700 where there is a health hazard. The County needs calls from residents so that they can declare lack of trash pick up an official health hazard.

When you see a particularly bad build-up of garbage, please also contact the recycling@oaklandnet.com and copy us. We are especially concerned about apartment buildings and restaurant/commercial areas and any other situation where health and safety will be affected.

Please call the the PWA Call Center at 615-5566 if you notice any illegal dumping on the streets.
