Dumpster-Prowlers Threaten Residents of Upscale Suburbia in So-Cal

What’s Going On in Southern California? – Suspicious Activity Alarms Locals

Imagine that you’re jarringly startled from a deep sleep by a brutish sounding noise that instantly invokes a sense of imminent danger; a bizarre noise resembling a small bear thrashing about in a dumpster, with bottles and cans serving as a loud clanking bell and clattering gong, beginning around 5 a.m. and lasting off and on until about 8:30 a.m. nearly every morning including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.  Most would grab their hunting rifle and run to secure their doors and ensure that their family is inside and safe before calling the Forest Ranger.

Surprisingly, the setting of this reality, experienced daily by many upstanding residents of Southern California, is not deep in the untamed wilderness at some campground far from civilization: it is within some of the nicest neighborhoods in So-Cal.  Moreover, it’s not a bear making all the ruckus.  Yet, likened to an unwanted and potentially dangerous prowling bear that travels miles to one’s location to scavenge near you as you sleep, the creature stalking your resting place is human and as allusive as any crafty big game predator; slipping quickly away before being caught, trapped or shot for trespassing, just to return days later to torment your peace of mind and restful sleep.  Imagine this scenario repeating itself day after day, and week after week with no end in sight.

To all appearances BRE Properties and Rancho Santa Margarita, (like other real estate companies and small cities in Southern CA in some of the highest rent districts in So-Cal), are California’s icons -even global icons- of seemingly eradicated residential trespass laws and muted sanctuaries for destitute illegal Mexican aliens.  They unscrupulously fail to inform would-be, homeowners, taxpayers and/or tenants prior to signing into contractual agreements that their city and residential communities are infested with unabated prowling un-screened trespassing so-called “dumpster-divers,” an/or scavengers disrupting the daily lives of upright citizens, and that there is 100% tolerance of same by the powers that be.  The tendency of upper management and city officials is to refuse to take on the responsibility and added cost of properly protecting their city and residential neighborhoods against trespassing passerby; unstopped passerby who are clearly seen to have travelled from the shadiest and untamed low rent districts of surrounding cities; unchecked passerby who without doubt threaten the safety, quality of life, and peace of mind of locals.

What Are the Real Issues?

Residential Trespassing – Trash Scavenging Prowlers

This social-political issue entails a solid underlying platform.  Like a political campaign, said issues are often misconstrued and convoluted via fierce wrangling of involved parties attempting to sway and capture constituents for support in order to win.

Though the right to endeavor towards acquiring a quality of life that nurtures safety and peace is a topic of special concern today, more times than not, when push-comes-to-shove, time and time again history shows that most political platforms sadly boil down to the people verses big corporations’ and/or public officials’ profit margins, not real and specific issues confronting society and our culture.  Documentary-like articles like this one serve as a tool to unravel hidden agendas and the real issues of highly public campaigns.

-Three Main Issues-

Some say the issue of scavenging residential trespassers, and “dumpster-diving” as it were, is one of morality also involving racial/cultural and social class issues, while others feel it is an issue of criminality and still others proclaim it’s all political.

A question of morality… Are we our brother’s keeper?  Within a civilized and humane culture, this is certainly a valid point.  Even in Christ’s day the unfortunate were allowed to harvest the corners of the fields, or trash crop, of private landowners but at least it was monitored with allotted timeframes with an accounting for who was lining up to harvest for free that day.  There were clearly rules.  Tenants and/or home owners have a right to know if they are to become forced participants in a shelter outreach program, after signing a lease and/or contract, unknowingly locking them in as unpaid social-workers serving the destitute and lower society at their home everyday without proper security monitoring of transients or the protection of security guards, which they would certainly have at any volunteer program outside their place of residence –which requires signing in with name, address and social security number.

Trespassing: the frontlines of the rule of law in a civilized culture… Police departments across Southern California have gone on record stating that scavenging dumpster-diving is not a real crime but merely a nuisance complaint that officers cannot respond to because they are too stretched in manpower protecting our cities from “serious” offenses.  Who needs city ordinances or state laws (code 602) after the fact, except perhaps victims of crime, insurance companies, hospitals, newspapers, lawyers, mortuaries and funeral homes?  When did prowling, illegal trespassing on private residential property become something other than a serious offense, especially being that one must trespass deep into private property, even past gated areas, to get access to residential dumpsters and/or trash cans?

Perhaps the real reason for the lack of concern for the protection of innocent people and their property, even in So-cal’s higher upscale neighborhoods is based upon basic economics.  Since there is little chance of securing revenue by fining poor and/or lawless criminals (with little to no property worth putting liens against, should they fail to pay), it is apparently a service with no financial return.  Or, perhaps law enforcement agencies have been instructed to stand down regarding trespassing laws by high-ranking city officials who have suspicious hidden agendas.

Political Machinations: upholding the most basic of civil rights vs. an invitation to martial law… Perhaps it’s political.  Are city officials and leading businesses afraid that the world will notice that they appear to house slave-like labor in California via illegal immigrants from Mexico should they begin arresting people for residential trespassing?  (Payouts from identity theft, and the collection of cans and bottles is an activity apparently necessary to supplement the survival, and/or horrible income of said slave labor.)

To date, governing officials and leading corp.s have given their stamp of approval of trespassing via their obvious indifference.  Thus, the destitute and lawless, like a pack of wild dogs running amuck in our communities, have free reign to frighten and terrorize upright local taxpaying citizens.

Are politicians pointedly ignoring trespassing laws, anticipating that denizens of the educated working class will beg for tougher laws in this arena?  In turn, would this trigger the enacting of martial-type law upon scrupulous citizens within their own communities, limiting their ability to travel freely?

Still, more informed citizens that are pushing for serious reform in the small cities in So-Cal are confident that the trespassing dumpster-diving, scavenging issue is only an indicator of the real issue that’s directly related to the Mexican drug cartel, also involving illegal immigrants, that is taking over our small cities; a disturbing issue that’s increasingly becoming common, yet, unspoken knowledge in Orange County, (i.e., http://www.fulldisclosure.net/Programs/478.php).

For whatever reason, federal, state and local politicians and community business leaders aren’t talking, and neither is the mainstream media reporting this war-at-home issue in top headline fashion.  They continue to avoid one of today’s hottest and most highly debated topics, accommodating dumpster-diving scavengers vs. the enforcement of federal, state and local trespassing laws and ordinances.  Consequently, though not trained to confront, detain and apprehend like policemen, locals are forced to single handedly fight the battle, literally in their own front yards every week, putting them at high risk.

Rancho Santa Margarita – Residential Trespassing No Longer Illegal – A Subverted System in So-Cal?

Indicator of Drugs, Crime, Illegal Immigration & Mexican Drug Cartel in So-Cal? Why City Officials Refuse to Enforce Trespassing Laws Remains Unanswered

This popular syndrome, the disturbing choice by leading business men and women and city officials in the community to entirely shirk responsibility and instead look the other way when it comes to the trespassing scavengers of unknown origin, sends a clear message to squatting transients, illegal immigrants, criminals, and derelicts of the lowest end of neighboring cities.  It appears that Rancho Santa Margarita is an open hunting ground for trespassing prowlers.

Working for the last decade as a journalist and award winning documentary filmmaker, I have followed this popular and ever increasing social phenomena of dumpster-diving for quite some time.  Spurred on by my own experience as a victim of trespassing dumpster=divers, I have taken the time to research, study and acquire the inside scoop on this bizarrely accepted-by-authorities criminal activity in today’s So-Cal culture.

The only reason that I can think of as to why early morning dog-walkers shyly look away, when bumping into such obvious trespassers from the shady part of some other town is that they are naïve to the potential dangers of allowing this at their place of residence, or they are frightened of the real potential danger, they are afraid to report it to the proper authorities, and/or they’ve learned that they have no recourse to stop it short of putting themselves at risk in becoming a dumpster security guard from 4:30 to 8:30 a.m. and throughout the day seven days a week.

Today’s unsolved and escalating “scavenging” dumpster-diving social issue, while largely ignored by the powers that be, is certainly not going to go away on its own, quite the contrary.  When will this serious third world issue that’s come home to roost in the US be addressed?  After some famous person’s wife or daughter is raped or abducted, or perhaps after their husband is shot and robbed while walking out their front door to the grocery store, to school, or while heading off to the office?   Identity theft is also a serious concern surrounding the dumpster-diving issue.

Perhaps it’s an issue that’s too embarrassing and one that if seriously addressed by those powerhouse leaders in So-Cal would perhaps open up a can of worms with devastating consequences for political careers and/or revenues of multi-billion-dollar corporations.

-Danger Close-

=======================================================================

Prowlers Continue to Invade So-Cal’s Private Housing Communities

Garbage May Not Be the Only Thing

That Desperate Scavenging Trespassers

Are Looking For

=========================================================================

These dumpster-divers I’m speaking of are not the college educated green movement folk partying in front of God and everybody at Trader Joes’ dumpsters seeking out perfectly good food that is neatly sealed while chanting, ‘Save the environment! Stop needless waste!’  Neither am I speaking of a dumpster in some out of the way public place, tucked back behind some commercial building.  I’m speaking of a dumpster at your higher-priced lovely, private apartment homes with all the amenities complete with panoramic views, right under your balcony and just feet from your front door, in front of which your children, wife, and husband must pass each morning in order to get to their car or school-bus.

These are extremely determined and defiant desperate derelicts, also known as hood-rats, who have no intention of being stopped by concerned but unarmed non-violent citizens.  They have every intention of not leaving empty handed after driving miles from their slum neighborhoods, trespassing 100 yard private drives (even slipping through gated properties) and sneaking up to your front door, openly slithering around casing entire properties and neighborhoods, taking anything that is available, especially personal papers found in trash cans.

These uncivilized brazen and lawless pack of roaming trespassers are now invading even the more affluent neighborhoods of homeowners, again with little to no consequences for trespassing.

Most would agree that people live outside of the city and willingly pay additional fees for toll, gas, time and higher rents because they desire to live and raise their family in neighborhoods and housing communities that are pleasant, safe and far from the seedy elements of the city and it’s questionable outlining areas.

Once upon a time these responsible, family-oriented people at least had somewhat of a secure notion that their neighbors were thoroughly screened, that their city officials and local business owners found it mutually advantageous to be concerned for their reputable taxpaying citizens’ wellbeing and the community, and that having pepper spray and/or a gun at the ready was not necessary.  After all, the proper housing authorities have all the pertinent information concerning the residents of any given community, a great deterrent should someone actually consider committing a crime on their own street.

However, within this scenario, the screening of tenants is a moot point because those committing today’s most popular crime of illegal residential trespassing, and potential crimes of convenience, are from other neighborhoods, coming and going as they please on private residential property.  It remains unclear who these people are or where they’re from specifically, but it is clear enough that they’re not your garden-variety socially acceptable neighbor from down the block.

People are still paying a higher price to live in good neighborhoods only to find that the troubling elements of bad neighborhoods are coming to them, literally just feet from their door.  Meanwhile, the appropriate city officials and big corporations do nothing and often state publicly that it’s not a serious problem, not a real crime and not worth the cost of enforcing and/or thoroughly addressing.  Interestingly enough, it seems that residential trespassing has unofficially been deemed something other than a real crime in Rancho Santa Margarita and BRE Properties, and in many other affluent neighborhoods in Southern California as well.

Video Doesn’t Lie

My research shows that at least 99% of these residential trespassers in Rancho Santa Margarita are Latino; Caucasians and African-Americans make up the remaining percentage.  This is not a small group consisting of the same people, but a variety arriving in different vehicles (some noticeably without license plates) transporting scavenging gangs most everyday of the week.

Many look like they just crawled out from under a rock with a look and demeanor of a rough, desperate, volatile fugitive living on the edge ready to explode, giving off a poignant vibe advising beware; a group much more suited to a controlled environment than one that allows close proximity (within arm’s reach) to your children playing in their own front yard.  Common sense suggests that a sane individual would shutter to think that their beloved young child, wife or husband might unwittingly bump into or inadvertently offend these dumpster-diving, scavenging trespassers alone in the wee early morning hours.

This holds true unless your family members have experience traversing ghettos, and exude a street-tough physical presence suggesting that they carry lethal protection and are more than willing to use it if necessary.  Since this seldom describes well educated, cultured people raised in good neighborhoods, whose only familiarity with the dangerous and gross realities of a ghetto-like neighborhood is via the nightly news, makes these families sitting ducks and potential easy prey for these seemingly harmless and nameless scavenging human-dumpster-bears crossing from the wrong side of the tracks into your neighborhood for easy pickings and lawlessness.

So-Called Dumpster Scavengers – Who is Stalking Your Neighborhood and Private Community?

Since these seemingly untouchable ghost unknowns stalk lawlessly, trespassing as they please in some of So-Cal’s nicest communities upon private housing and residential property, questionably with little to no response from any proper authorities, it’s surely not a question of if but when will our vulnerable citizens next be attacked.  Evidently, the powers in charge are not believers in the wisdom of “an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure” when it comes to the quality of life and safety of their citizens and/or tenants.

After all, on which particular day will these trespassers ask themselves, ‘why climb into a filthy dumpster for chump change when lying in wait at the dumpster for a victim with real cash, credit cards and a set of keys (belonging to an easy-to-fence set of wheels) is so convenient?’

Make no mistake by absurdly presuming that these so-called dumpster-divers are nice people that have just fallen on hard times.  History shows that having pity within this scenario is a trap for the warm-hearted.  Nor presume that they are harmless and just looking for garbage.  Contrarily, they show to be a fearlessly aggressive and lawless bunch and they have absolutely no qualms with residential trespassing or invading the very boundaries of your home, or your right to privacy, even in broad daylight.  These are, without doubt, criminal activities going unabated and most would agree that their continued allowance goes against the very essence of what America claims as one of its most outstanding virtues.

Recently, I completed a documentary film on the homeless and found that most were good people who had fallen upon circumstances beyond their control.  They were not criminals, nor would they even contemplate residential trespassing much less act upon it; most refused to make themselves a nuisance to the rest of society in any way, even refusing to ask others on the street for change.  They were acceptable enough in their appearance, clean-shaven folk that behaved and addressed their unusual challenge in the same manner that they lived prior to their circumstances: with integrity, considerateness, intelligence and civil mindedness as law abiding citizens.

Clearly, the dumpster-divers addressed in this article are not subscribing to these values by any stretch of the imagination; they are emboldened lawless individuals whose risk to you is only heightened by their knowledge that you have, to date, little meaningful recourse in any attempt to circumvent their activities.  The lawless, confident that they have only a minute chance of being caught, exponentially increase their potential as dangerous characters.  Some may only continue to fish for your social security and credit card numbers, and for bottles and cans, destroying your quality of life, safety and peace of mind at your hard-earned expense, and at their gross single-mindedness towards their convenience in spite of you, but only a fool would be willing to risk the wellbeing, if not life, of their child, wife or husband on this wild presumption.

Be warned, many citizens that have personally confronted these relentless invading hoards of socially-masked thugs prowling their yards and streets, have been verbally abused and threatened, have had their place and vehicles vandalized, and have even been attacked.  Even pointing a video camera in their direction can easily result in the above.  Yet, police only show up -mostly- after the fact and in most part are unable to follow-up because no one knows who these people are or where they come from.

Many do not even have license plates on their vehicles and like seasoned criminals they often wear hats, hooded-sweatshirts and sunglasses, and hide their cars around the corner prior to walking onto and/or invading private property.  Also like professional criminals many have lawyers via the welfare office protecting their arguable civil rights as immigrants and/or illegal immigrants -giving them near diplomatic immunity- adding to their confidence as untouchable swaggering, in-your-face trespassers, knowing that they’re an explosive political issue today.  Via their blatant defiance of the law, grossly treading on the rights of citizens and their communities, they’re obviously aware of this fact, and use it boldly to their dishonorable advantage.

There is profound wisdom involving accepted standards in safety and quality of life within a community as to why individuals must pass a screening process prior to being accepted into said community, before being permitted to legally tarry amongst others within that said community.

Respectively, for these same reasons, discerning individuals seek out housing communities that indeed require a background check and screening process of all would-be tenants.  It aids in the assurance of dwelling within a more cultured and/or civilized, higher quality of lifestyle environment, while offering a higher percentage against encountering individuals within the immediate community that might well put a family within a high risk category of being potential victims of crime, especially violent crimes.

For unknown reasons to the general public, trespassing dumpster-divers are permitted to completely bypass the screening process and loiter within high-end screened properties on the path of screened individuals going to the pool, gym, trash and parking facilities, hence, putting them in a high risk catogory within a low risk neighborhood.  Bizarre is the only word to describe this twisted reality in RSM, properties like BRE Properties, and in other more affluent neighborhoods in So-Cal’s upper class communities.

=========================================================================

The community leaders of Rancho Santa Margarita and the VIPs of BRE Properties are by no means the only guilty parties in So-Cal’s near criminal activities against their faithful tenants, home owners and taxpaying citizens.  However, they are certainly a perfect example of being, at best, supremely delinquent in their responsibilities resulting in the support of the rampant illegal and/or criminal trespassing taking place here in Southern California.

The above are not only icons of CA leaders who to all appearances are ignoring the-war-at-home issue, but easily serve as the icons (perhaps even scapegoats eventually) of the-war-at-home issue in Europe, where communities face the same concerns daily with middle-eastern illegal immigrants forcing the same concerns (Europe’s France is the US’s San Diego/CA.)  This sad state of affairs shamefully puts So-Cal’s core – upstanding honest, hard working and law-abiding citizens who make a vital contribution to their communities - in harms way each and every day.

Their current marketing campaigns that just so happen to dramatically cut their overhead and increase their leisure time, proclaiming that residential trespassing via dumpster-prowlers is totally benign is certainly not believable.  Only the most naive, daily seeing shady, desperate looking weirdos prowling about their front yard near their trash cans, on their side-walks in front of their house and casing their streets would ignore it as nothing to be concerned about.  If the matter was not so serious with such potentially dangerous implications, it would be down right laughable.

The powers that be, after publicly proclaiming that this issue is nothing more than a nuisance type complaint in peoples’ communities, and not a real concern, can’t hope to be reelected or hope to stay in business for too much longer.  Americans can take much and lose much without too much of a fuss, but “Don’t mess with my wife, my family or home, my truck or my dog” is an American value and/or boundary that you just don’t cross without expecting an extremely serious fight.

The stark reality is that today’s false “harmless” dumpster-diving persona perpetrated upon the public by the powers that be in fact proves to be a free pass offering a comfortable and safe cover for the dreads of society to invade your home, serving as the perfect camouflage for any would-be rapist, murderer, illegal alien, thief and hardened criminal or terrorist who wishes to target unprotected and pacified, unsuspecting neighborhoods.

It’s an untenable situation for someone to have to live with.  Regarding their dumpster campaigns advocating complete tolerance, do the responsible parties openly expose their children and loved ones to the environment which the photos in this article clearly reveal, an environment that they’ve created via their blatant indifference?  Certainly they would take swift action against residential-trespassers that hide behind the moniker of dumpster-diver.  Isn’t it about time that proper authorities finally close the trap on these invaders, now that the illegal aliens and lawless have all fearlessly come out to feed -upon the wealthier neighborhoods like RSM and others across So-Cal?

What’s Wrong?  What’s happened to Southern California?

Residential Trespassers vs. Higher-rent Neighborhoods in RSM CA.

It is becoming increasingly more difficult in Rancho Santa Margarita, including within one of the nations largest multi-billion dollar property management companies (BRE Properties), to discern just who resides or dominates at your higher-rent apartment homes and communities in So-Cal’s Orange County, especially RSM.  With the ever-persistent infestation of residential neighborhood trespassers (scavenging dumpster-divers) of monumental proportions, a dangerous element is literally taking over the more affluent neighborhoods in RSM and is turning the streets into an unsafe, unpredictable third-world living environment.  Prior to this recent influx, said neighborhoods were deemed safe and family-friendly, and offered a higher quality of lifestyle should one be able to afford the cost.

The gallery of photos within this article are quite telling and highlights the serious concerns of those paying higher rents hoping to avoid living in bad neighborhoods and begs the question: where do the priorities of city officials and the powers that be lie?  Is the residential trespassing of dumpster-divers in fact just the tip of the iceberg, an indicator of a deeper and much more sinister crime of corruption within the highest offices of city officials and billion-dollar corporations?

Certainly, the photos do tell a most peculiar story.  There is something very suspicious going on in So-Cal’s Orange County (RSM) and housing communities like BRE Properties, it’s not normal. In the-war-at-home battle, while legally restrained from the use of stun guns, pepper sprays or weapons against residential trespassers that don’t commit an outright crime of assault, robbery, theft or breaking and entering, etc., do family-oriented citizens living in manicured high-rent neighborhoods really have to capitulate to strange unknown individuals prowling their front yards and neighborhoods, as police refuse to even respond until after the fact?  In what era has this every been the case?  This alone speaks volumes, indeed.

Are we left with throwing water balloons behind well hidden cover in order to protect our property, family and home?  Is this our price for being at war for a decade?  Further, are the citizens of Sol-Cal and RSM afraid of the illegal trespassers, or the powers that be and/or both?

Course of Action – While Authorities Refuse Outcry for Help by Locals

Conflict and Options for Resolution: Dangerous, trespassing, foreign prowlers with a dominating presence within upscale neighborhoods terrorize civilized, unarmed, non-violent, educated and upright citizens in their yards, on their streets, even in high-rent neighborhoods and communities; while suspect immigrants and/or supporters of illegal immigrants in question set up shop as it were, network and become organized; and meanwhile obtain free services from public welfare, receive protection by welfare offices appointing them free attorney services, and the worst of which join or establish street-gangs; and, in most part, the proper authorities ignore unprotected locals’ cry for help.  Summed up?  It could be viewed as the culmination of the-war-at-home (other than the failing economy, housing, auto and job market that most have adjusted to as the norm, at least for a while longer.)

Fleeing way north from California’s neighborhood invading enemy of slave-labor immigrants seems to be an intelligent option when analyzing today’s current options offered by federal, state and local leaders, being that they offer few options except playing the card of see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.  For the working stiff on the front lines, a wait and see attitude could cost the life of a beloved family member in one’s own front yard.  Case in point, Denver, Colorado, where, after learning from California’s mistakes including bankruptcy via catering to the temptations of the relentless invasion of a cheap labor-force of illegal immigrants from Mexico, the state has vowed and strategically taken measures to avoid following in California’s footsteps.  Further, the illegal immigrant labor force in California has ended up costing California 15 billion annually.  So much for cheap labor, although corporations still made bank.  Much like Amsterdam, Denver adopted a strict federal, state and local attitude of a near zero tolerance or NO TRESPASSING mentality.

There are few living who can remember when our streets and communities were ever invaded by aggressive and seemingly unstoppable foriegn invaders (now with all sorts of malcontents following in their footsteps.)  Though a new experience, slow awakening Americans are indeed beginning to stir and smell the coffee.  Today, most are jarred to the reality of this slow, hardly noticeable but now sudden explosion of full invasion right in front of their homes.  Though somewhat confused in not knowing exactly how to respond, most are fighting mad and are working it out in their heads via internet discussions and forums, and blogs.

Most Americans would argue that they’ve worked too hard and too long for what quality of life that they’ve been able to afford themselves, to standby and see it taken away just because third-world immigrants want to better their own quality of life at their expense.  The debate continues today, while many are quickly waking up to the fact that California as a whole, especially RSM (just a stones throw away from the Mexican-US border) and BRE Properties, are not places to be for quality of life and safety.

Astute citizens pay real estate companies and elect city officials who they feel are diligent and qualified to help support and ensure their safety and quality of life.  Regarding the current status quo of the City of Rancho Santa Margarita and BRE Properties, until Election Day and/or until your lease is up for renewal, or until our soldiers return from protecting the US via far-off borders and are able to focus efforts on local borders, as of November 2009 to all appearances you’re pretty much all on your own.  So, strengthen your Neighborhood-Watch, hand out the pepper spray and stun guns to your women and children, have the video camera powered up and your attorneys standing by.  The slums are coming to a neighborhood near you,

2009-10         THE LAW - Recycling Theft

====================================================================

FACTS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

2009 CA. State law prohibits the theft of any recyclable materials. Appropriate Disposal & Recycling Companies are the only collection companies to collect recycling from recycling carts or bins. If you see someone other than an employee of either company removing recyclables from a recycling cart or bin, obtain the vehicle license number, car description, time of the theft, description of the person(s), note the direction they were heading and report the theft to the non-emergency Police dispatch office. For your safety, do NOT confront the recycling thieves.

When recyclables become more valuable, they sometimes disappear from the curb before the regular collector can pick them up. The practice of taking recyclables without the owner’s permission is called “scavenging,” and its against the law. Basically, it’s the same as stealing, and anyone caught stealing recyclables may be charged with a misdemeanor and fined.

Removal of recyclables from bins and containers prohibited.

No person shall remove any recyclable material or solid waste placed in or immediately adjacent to a bin or a container as part of a city contracted solid waste or recycling program without the consent of the generator of such recyclable material or solid waste or of the collector owning or operating the bin or container under contract.

CA. – Enforcement:

*as of 2009, fines up to $5,000.00

=======================================================================

Top 10 Reasons Why Theft of Recyclables is a Problem

• You don’t want these folks in your neighborhood
• It’s a possible “gateway” crime – These people may begin to believe that its OK to take something if they are “desperate”
• Thieves may be prowling or “casing” the neighborhood
• Potential for personal or financial information to be obtained and used by a crook
• Neatness doesn’t count with these folks; they may leave the street and your lawn a mess
• Scavengers can become abusive or violent if confronted
• Response and follow-up on individual incidents is, understandably, a relatively low priority for law enforcement staff
• Over-lapping criminal/civil laws, penalties, and enforcement strategies are not well coordinated
• Loss of the higher valued materials (aluminum cans) ultimately means customers pay more
• Residents get less credit for their efforts – reflected in lower recycling rate

Garbage & Recycling

Scavenging: It’s Against the Law!

Scavenging of recyclables is against the law!  If you see a theft in progress please call the Police and report it as a “theft in progress” (stealing recyclables.) Do not confront the suspects! Law enforcement considers scavenging a gateway crime to other activities (e.g. drugs, identity theft, etc.). If the suspects have come and gone, or you did not see it but notice stuff missing please call police to report the incident to a Police Service Technician, if it is after hours and you receive voice mail, leave a message with your contact information. The Police Service Technicians will take your information and file a report.
