Overflowing Trash Containers
Overflowing trash is often due to inadequate refuse
service. It is highly recommended that property owners upgrade to larger trash
containers to prevent this problem. Owners/Managers of multi-unit
residences must provide adequate disposal for their tenants to prevent dumping.
Contact Waste Management at (510) 613-8710 for
residential service information and/or to schedule bulk waste pick-up service.
Shopping Carts
Shopping carts are ultimately the responsibility of
the business that provides them to their customers. The Hillcrest Knolls
Association is working to assist residents with trying to find ways to remove
carts, and to prevent people from bringing carts into the neighborhood.
