Community Cleanup

This week’s location: 1611 E 12th St

Parking on 16th and 17th Ave, next to 12th. Don’t leave valuables in your car!

We had an *amazing* turnout last Saturday, thanks so much to everyone who came out. Over 8,000 pounds of trash cleared in one morning!

East 12th Street needs our help! The entire street is plagued by illegal dumping so we’re going to be making it our focus this spring. We will be starting at the large encampment at the above address. Residents are looking forward to our presence this Saturday so come on out to support them and make Oakland a better place for us all! It’s a fun way to spend a Saturday morning, making friends and cleaning our streets.

If you have heavy duty rakes or scoop shovels that you no longer need, we could always use a few more!

We approach this with compassion and kindness, and build bridges between volunteers and our unhoused community. All are welcome (ages 16+). Please wear long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes. All personal protective equipment and cleaning supplies are provided. Donations are always welcome.

Please RSVP each time you plan to attend. Thank you for your support!
