Clear a chronic dumping pile from a Fifth Ward corner and haul it to legal disposal.

Fifth Ward residents have fought illegal dumping for years, contractors and outsiders unload trash, tires, and furniture on quiet corners and vacant frontages faster than the city hauls it off. Piles attract rats and mosquitoes and tell a block it has been written off. Removing a pile completely, and photographing it gone, changes what a corner invites next.

Pay

$220 proposed

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos from matching angles plus a disposal receipt

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Photograph the dump site as found, then report it to Houston 311 so the location is on record.
2. Wearing gloves, load household debris, furniture, and bagged trash into a truck or trailer, leave any drums, unlabeled containers, syringes, or suspected hazardous material untouched and photograph them for the report.
3. Haul the load to the city neighborhood depository or another legal disposal site and keep the receipt or gate photo.
4. Rake the corner clean so nothing invites the next pile.
5. Photograph the cleared site from the same angles as the before shots, with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos from the same angles with GPS and date
• Disposal receipt or depository gate photo
• 311 report confirmation screenshot

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Community Needs Intake. Community needs intake is the front door of ecological work, run like a good 311 desk: a neighbor names a specific problem in a specific place, an eroding slope, a flooded corner, a bare lot, and it is documented with a photo, a location, and a plain account of who is affected, then mapped to the global goal it belongs to. Mastery looks like intake so clear that a stranger could fund the fix from the write-up alone. This packet is one need, seen and recorded properly. Nothing gets repaired that was never named.
