Sweep loose trash from an Ajegunle alley (2026-08-03)

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: Manual removal and licit disposal of illegally dumped bulk trash and debris from a public alley or rear right-of-way

Bring

• work gloves + puncture-resistant boots
• trash bags/bins + hand truck or wheelbarrow for bulk items
• camera
• city bulk-pickup or 311 reference

Steps

1. 1. ASSESS: photograph the alley's debris as found (type, extent, any hazardous-looking items) and confirm the alley is public right-of-way, not a private yard needing separate consent.
2. 2. Set aside and separately flag (do not move) any item that looks hazardous (containers with unknown liquid, sharps, anything resembling a fuel/chemical container) and report it rather than handling it.
3. 3. Sort and remove the remaining bulk trash/debris by hand, bagging loose material and staging bulky items for the city's bulk-pickup program or a licensed hauler.
4. 4. Photograph the cleared alley from the same before vantage and log the city bulk-pickup or 311 reference used for anything left for scheduled pickup.

If it does not match the plan

• Any item that looks hazardous (chemical/fuel container, sharps, unknown liquid) -> do not touch; photograph from a distance and report it.
• The debris is on private property, not the public alley right-of-way -> STOP, get owner consent first or flag for a different lane.

What counts as done

• Before/after photo of the alley
• GPS-tagged photo
• Date logged

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
