Log illegal dumping along a Ventura Avenue public block (2026-07-18)

A few blocks along Ventura Avenue collect dumped furniture and trash faster than the city can keep pace with, sitting well clear of any oil-field infrastructure but still hurting the neighborhood's everyday experience. A simple public-sidewalk log of what's dumped and where helps the city prioritize pickup. Standard: Local illegal-dumping reporting practice — SDG 11. Proof: Dated photo log of dumped items from the public sidewalk Method (Local illegal-dumping reporting practice — SDG 11.): 1. Walk the public sidewalk block and photograph any dumped items. 2. Note the approximate item type and quantity. 3. Photograph the nearest cross street for the record. 4. Do not move or touch the dumped items. 5. Log the observations with GPS and date. Done when: Dated photo log of dumped items from the public sidewalk

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
