TENANTS WORK TOGETHER TO CLEAN UP CITY OF OAKLAND PROPERTY
ON CALDECOTT LANE
Shown are photos taken this morning behind 130 Caldecott Lane where seven volunteers raked and bagged landscape cuttings dumped into the creek and storm drain behind 120 Caldecott Lane. These volunteers pulled out freshly cut grass clippings, green trimmings from a pine bush, and more.
While these volunteers worked on clearing the creek of vegetation, three volunteers worked tirelessly to clean-up construction debris behind the Verizon public utility. They pulled out wood debris, hammered down exposed nails, and carried a sodden, white sofa out to the dumpster nearby.
And, they neatly piled up iron, sewer pipes, and chain link fence which we are posting later today for any person to pick up and recycle.

| After - Almost unrecognizable - Matt, Amber, and Christian really cleaned things up! |
While volunteers worked behind 130 Caldecott Lane, another team lead by team captain, Gloria, gathered behind 142 Caldecott Lane. Six volunteers banded together to clean up construction pipes, electrical conduit, wood debris, and even a BMW radiator that had been dumped on public land. And, they continued to work on the storm drain and creeks clogged with landscape cuttings.
