Oakland Public Works (OPW) announced today that after several weeks of diminished capacity to clean Oakland’s streets and sidewalks, the department is restoring and reinforcing clean-up work with new support and returning staff. The City asks that community members help identify new or returned hot-spot areas by continuing to report illegal dumping to OAK311, and make full use of available trash services as part of the ongoing Oaktown PROUD community campaign to reduce illegal dumping in Oakland.

The City of Oakland and community leaders from across the city announced Tuesday the launch of the Oaktown PROUD campaign to reduce illegal dumping in Oakland, rolling out new services long advocated-for by community groups.
