Clean the dumped debris off a vacant lot on an invited Camden block

Camden's vacant lots collect tires, mattresses, and contractor dumping faster than the city can respond, and a dumped lot invites more dumping within days. Clearing a lot and documenting the load restores a block's baseline and gives neighbors something worth defending. Standard: Camden County illegal-dumping enforcement program; SDG 11. Proof: Wide before/after lot photos plus staged-bulk photo Method (Camden County illegal-dumping enforcement program; SDG 11.): 1. Confirm the lot owner or block group invitation and walk the lot to inventory the debris. 2. Bag loose litter and stack bulk items — tires, furniture, lumber — at the legal curb pickup point. 3. Rake the cleared ground level. 4. Report any drums, chemicals, or unknown containers to the county line without touching them. 5. Photograph the lot before and after and the staged bulk pile with GPS and date. Done when: Wide before/after lot photos plus staged-bulk photo

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

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.
