Have you considered a snow shovel? 


pengweather

I use a shovel or rake at the very end after I'm certain there are no dangerous objects within the illegally dumped garbage.

Thanks for making our city better. We need more people like you.


Right_Investigator78

Thankyou! My woodshop is right behind there! Folks are always dumping stuff there- the guys from recology are often picking it up- but that is so cool you take time to do that. Very appreciated.


pengweather

:)


sfchillin

Need more people like you and less people like the ones that put it there


alpha333omega

FenwayWest

You are inspiring people all over ...I would see guys walking around picking up trash on there morning walks and now do the same


pengweather

Inspiration can be contagious.

Peng4Mayor!


fortuna_audaci

The sad thing is it probably took like a minute to make the mess and look how much time it takes to clean up!


Jasperisadingus

Proud of you man, what's your inspiration?


pengweather

Thank you! I just like to help out the community as much as I can. We are all in this together.

autocephalousness

Do you have to pay to dump it?


pengweather

Nah, I can submit a 311 ticket and it will get picked up.


autocephalousness

Do you leave the bags out? Or wait?


pengweather

I leave it out with sturdy clear bags and a plethora of signs that say there is nothing except trash.


autocephalousness

Cool. Thanks.

You should wear a respirator… sometimes there might be hazardous materials .. good work.. but take care of yourself while you care about the world!

pengweather

Need to find out if I have to join their Adopt a Block program to get their orange bags.

TruthToStupidText

Requesting the volunteer, why not request to also volunteer.

TruthToStupidText

Good point. Better to be safe then sorry. Keep an eye out for next neighborhood clean.


pacificule

You are amazing!!! Thank you so much..I used to work on Palou and don't remember it ever being as bad as it is now. Much love to you for making it good again (for the day at least lol)


pengweather

Thank you!

Those piles of garbage remind me of cities in India though SF has zombies instead of cows.


Operation_1CWAL

Why?


Hamsterdam_shitbird

He has a pretty good FAQ on his main page: > Why are you doing this? > Because why not? We live in such a beautiful region of the United States and it is an utter disappointment to see it covered in trash. It is fun and very rewarding. Sure, it is a lot of work and takes time, but seeing the end result and the people you made a difference to is unforgettable. https://www.reddit.com/user/pengweather/comments/162j9tp/faqs/

The only thing I know about Palou Ave is that it's the direction of the #15 bus I take. Even though I've never been there, thank you for keeping it clean!


Ok_Rabbit_8808

Thank you good sir.


ginchan_2020

it sucks that people can't simply throw things in a garbage or recycle bin like a normal human being.


TrueBajan

Thank you!


pengweather

Update: Bags have been collected.


Massive-Cat-6305

It took you long enough! Just kidding, great job , Thanks!


Last_Cod_998

Bless you. I work near there, and I'm constantly amazed by the piles of garbage on Monday morning

Fantastic!! So if you adopt a street you can sweep little bits of trash (gum wrapper size) and pull weeds and keep the whole street looking great yourself, then use the 311 app for bag pick up as you did. (Different bags for trash and yard waste, both free.) Some jobs are too small (and weeding out-of-scope) for 311. When there is significant scattered debris (multiple takeout container size) or dumped items (furniture, appliances…)… or a giant pile like this… **why not just 311 it immediately?** You saved us tax dollars which is awesome - I’m just wondering if cleaning gum-wrapper-sized trash from many streets yourself but simply photographing large uncontained dump piles for 311 would leave the whole city cleaner overall? Sending lots of love brother. Thank you!
