Solid Waste

Yosemite ave adjacent to Yosemite Slough

Unresolved
January 27, 2022
Location
1391 Wallace Ave, San Francisco, CA 94124, USA
Category
Solid Waste

Description

Although the dumping that occurs at the end of this street is done by various people and usually by a motor vehicle, it is the individuals residing here that drag the debris into the park area. They remove it from the street which means public works will not clean it up and use the materials to litter the park and build structures. The accumulated pile has been fostering a large colony of rats and whether intentional or accidentally, these piles have been burning every night this week giving off toxic plumes that spread for blocks.
