Oakland Public Works staff work hard every day to make our streets cleaner. But we’re not just picking up litter—we’re also tracking down dumpers and holding them accountable. Our Environmental Enforcement Unit issued a $1000 fine for this recent case of illegal dumping in East Oakland. Fines for illegal dumping can reach: ? $750 for a 1st offense ? $1000 for a 2nd ? $1500 for 3+ And that's not all—dumpers also have to pay for the cleanup. In the most serious cases—where we find hazardous materials, high volume commercial dumping, or frequent ongoing violations—the total fine can be many thousands more. See dumping? Say something. If you have a tip that could help us identify a dumper, include it in your OAK311 service request. https://hubs.la/Q02YrZ7c0
