adopt a street

i wrote to a few folks, like caltrans and the san francisco city, and received nice responses today. one suggested i gather neighbors together for the adopt a street program, in which the depart of public works will provide us with bags, brooms, gloves, and trash pickup for any events we organize. another suggested i make frequent reports of trash in that area, to increase the frequency of city cleaning there. and another suggested i simply take a reusable bag with me as i go, and dump any trash i collect that day into the public trash cans on street corners. overall i’m surprised i received such a quick set of responses and there are options.

Note: if you see anyone dumping things illegally in SF, call 28-CLEAN to report the problem. that’s also the phone number to see if there is an adopt a street group already in your neighborhood.
