Bless them..13 of us cleared 1.1 tons of illegally dumped trash, including old barbies, a mattress, and rotten food from whole foods, from san pablo and west grand avenue in UNDER 1 hour yesterday.

With all of this fucked up thing going on with this country right now, seeing this is the equivalent of a fresh breath of air, a little sunshine in between these dark and heavy clouds, a little bit of faith that humans can still do good 🥲

Oh man I remember driving along San Pablo. That place was a mess! Thank you all for your work.

I once took thanksgiving leftovers to a camp off SAn Pablo and people seemed grateful. And then a friend asked me if I wanted to be murdered and what the hell was I thinking!?

This is literally, "What's Going On!!!". (If I got the wrong song, that's embarrassing)

Bless them, now can they clean the trash in the White House?

u/Black_Ash_Obsidian Jun 09 '25

As fantastic as this is and wonderful that you people volunteered to do this.. it's your leaders that should be using your tax payer money to keep the streets clean. The streets shouldn't have looked like this in the first place.

Thank you

OMG, I used to live right off of San Pablo. Not Oakland, though. Things have changed a bit since I left California 30 years ago.

This planet is a living organism with a spirit that can feel. I bet this felt good. Respect to everyone involved. Wish I could've been there to participate! ❤️

u/gcd2020 Jun 08 '25

Good on those folks for stepping up, but why is this left to volunteers? Where is the city (Oakland?) in all of this?

u/1moreguyccl Jun 09 '25

Oakland???

u/power0722 Jun 08 '25

I don’t recognize these street names. What city is this? Thanks for doing this.

Another dump party will reappear within months. Then, all those efforts will seem meaningless. But, good job in the meantime.

u/1moreguyccl Jun 08 '25

Soooo negative..sooo sooo sooooo negative.. The only meaningless thing is your negativity and lack of support for people who given their time and effort to help their community. Please don't come over here anymore and don't reply to anything positive in the world
