All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Clear loose dumped litter from the 7th St and Alvarado St curb strips. Small illegal dumping piles on this corridor's public right-of-way sit for weeks between pickups; a gloved, bagged removal of loose non-hazardous litter (no furniture, no e-waste, no unknown containers, report those, never touch) restores the block the same day. No license is needed, only the crew's safety orientation and a lead who can screen for hazardous waste from a distance. For the payer: - Price: $300 per curb strip segment of up to 300 feet, loose litter and small dumped items only. - Likely payer: LA Sanitation and Environment (illegal dumping). In their words: data-driven street condition and cleanup operations. - No license is needed. - No permit is needed; the public right-of-way under the posting.
Fund it for $300. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Needs someone who can screen for hazardous waste: if anything looks like it (paint cans, chemical containers, needles), do not touch it; photograph it from a distance and report via 311 instead. Wear gloves and closed-toe shoes and lift with your legs.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: puncture-resistant boots for needles, glass and nails that can pierce a soft sole; cut-resistant gloves for glass and sharp debris, with no bare hands. A needle is photographed from a distance and reported, never picked up.
- Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
- Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
- Work from the curb strip in hi-vis and never step into a traffic lane; a cone or a person standing in a lane needs a trained flagger (Title 8 section 1599) or the City's approved traffic control plan.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- heavy-duty contractor bags
- litter grabber, broom and dustpan
- cut-resistant gloves
- puncture-resistant boots
- hi-vis vest
- hand truck or cart for the bags
- drinking water
- phone for the photos and the GPS point
Steps
- Put on gloves, closed-toe shoes and hi-vis before starting, and work from the curb strip, never in a traffic lane.
- Take a before photo of the dumped debris at the site.
- Record a GPS waypoint at the site.
- Screen the debris for anything that looks like hazardous waste, such as paint cans, chemical containers, or needles.
- Clear the non-hazardous debris by hand, lifting with your legs.
- Bag the cleared debris and load the bags for transport to a disposal or recycling facility.
- Take an after photo from the same vantage point showing the site cleared.
- Take a photo of the disposal receipt, or of the debris at the proper disposal facility.
- Record the before photo, the GPS waypoint, the after photo, and the disposal photo or receipt.
What counts as done
- Before photos of the dumped debris and the site, with GPS and time
- After photos from the same vantage showing the cleared site
- The disposal receipt, or a photo of the debris at the proper facility, with the bags counted or weighed
- Anything that looks like hazardous waste (paint cans, chemical containers, needles) photographed from a distance and reported on MyLA311, with the reference number
- The MyLA311 service request number or the City work order this site answers, copied from the request, or none when there is none
- Sign-off: LA Sanitation closes the MyLA311 request, or the host or owner signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Left where they lie: needles, human waste and anyone's belongings or tent are photographed from a distance and filed on MyLA311, never handled.
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
