Anyone can start here · Documented pile sites in alleys near N 27th St, Omaha, NE 68111
Haul away the documented safe dump piles from North Omaha's alleys (2026-07-19)
Even reported, piles wait — and a waiting pile is an invitation. Removing the safe categories (furniture, bagged household trash, yard debris, tires) to legal disposal shrinks the backlog and breaks the signal that these alleys are a free dump. Standard: SDG 11.6 (municipal waste management) + legal disposal at city transfer facilities. Proof: before/after site photos plus the legal disposal receipt Method (SDG 11.6 (municipal waste management) + legal disposal at city transfer facilities.): 1. Work from the current survey list, taking only safe-category piles. 2. Load with gloves and a helper, covering the load for transport. 3. Deliver to the legal transfer facility and keep the receipt. 4. Leave each site broom-clean. 5. Photograph each site before and after plus the receipt, GPS-tagged and dated. Done when: before/after site photos plus the legal disposal receipt
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: SDG-aligned community needs identification + intake (programmatic 311 front door) — maps a named local ecological or social need to a specific SDG target, a real place, and an actionable protocol intake, using photo + GPS + community input + a named referral target
Bring
- GPS-capable phone (GPS waypoint + photos required)
- note-taking app or paper for community impact statements
- camera (photo documentation of the unmet need)
- internet access for the named program / intake lookup (city portal, USDA atlas, state database)
- copy of the posted intake criteria (SDG, lane, named intake target)
Steps
- 1. Navigate to the named location; confirm GPS is inside the posting radius; record the GPS waypoint.
- 2. Photograph the current state of the unmet need (the gap, the condition, the absence) with a clear timestamp — the photo must show what is missing or failing, not just a streetview-style shot.
- 3. Document the community impact: record at minimum one household or resident account of how the need affects daily life; note the population affected (households, block, facility) and the primary harm (health risk, access barrier, safety hazard, environmental degradation).
- 4. Map the need to a named SDG target: record the SDG number and target (e.g. SDG 11.7, SDG 6.1, SDG 2.1, SDG 11.1) and confirm the need matches the target's scope.
- 5. Identify the vertical lane the work belongs to: housing (renovation/healthy-home), food (provenance/delivery), water, urban-canopy, or the appropriate ecological lane — state which existing protocol work type would provision the solution.
- 6. Look up and record the named intake target — the specific program, agency, or case queue the need should be routed to (e.g. city work-order URL, federal program intake, lead service line replacement registry); document the current gap between the need and the intake.
- 7. Compile the intake record: GPS, photos, SDG tag, community impact note, vertical lane, named intake target, and any program reference numbers; sign it as the identifying worker.
If it does not match the plan
- Need cannot be GPS-confirmed on-site (remote or inaccessible location) -> document the reason; do not claim on-site verification; the intake is still useful but must be labelled 'remote identification, unverified on-site'.
- No community impact statement obtainable -> the intake may still be useful as an environmental observation, but the intake should note 'no resident impact confirmed'; the protocol prefers lived-experience evidence for SDG need intakes.
- Multiple SDG targets apply to a single need -> record all applicable targets; the primary one is the most proximate (the most direct unmet need, not the upstream cause).
- Regulated work required to address the need (e.g. water testing, electrical, abatement, structural) -> route to the appropriate licensed-pro lane; the intake documents and refers, never attempts the regulated work.
What counts as done
- GPS waypoint inside the posting radius with timestamped photo showing the unmet need
- Community impact statement: at least one named household or resident account of the harm
- SDG target recorded with number + target (e.g. SDG 11.1 adequate housing), matched to the need
- Named intake target: a specific program, agency, or work queue the packet can be routed to
- Vertical lane identified: housing / food / water / urban-canopy / other protocol lane
- The intake record is actionable — a coordinator can hand it to the correct program without re-investigating
