That’s just a smattering of the more than 6,000 mattresses left on the streets of Oakland this year, mostly in the city’s poorest neighborhoods.
Bulky and soggy, they’ve come to symbolize blight and decay in a city that’s enjoying a renaissance. As Oakland’s downtown blossoms, its flatlands remain strewn with garbage. “It’s an old-school, neighborhood-type thing — people not waiting for the government to come do it,” Gallo said on a recent Sunday as he rode shotgun in a pickup truck piled high with detritus. He and a volunteer from the Oakland Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church were ferrying the load to a dump site at the lip of the 880 freeway so the city’s Public Works Department could pick it up Monday. Although Oakland residents pay for garbage pickup from Waste Management — which lets them dispose of large items once a year — taxpayers also spend $5.5 million a year for the city to clear bulky junk off the streets. “This is a social problem,” said Kristine Shaff, spokeswoman for the Oakland Public Works Department, noting that residents of other cities routinely dump their trash in Oakland.
Mattresses alone have become a major blight because many people would rather chuck them on the street or by the freeway exit than pay a fee to recycle them. By November, the Public Works Department had cleared 6,572 mattresses left out to rot — down slightly from last year’s 6,852, according to staff reports. Oakland’s biggest mattress dumping hot spot is its deep east corridor, from 82nd Avenue to the city limit, an area that also suffers from poverty and crime. Public Works has addressed the problem for years with bus shelter ads and mailers to encourage good behavior. In January, Alameda County set up a pilot program that pays people $6 to $12 to bring discarded mattresses to an East Oakland recycling facility. In February, Oakland began offering rewards to people who report illegal dumping — up to half of the fines collected if the report prompts a citation. Such fines can run up to $1,000 a day until the debris is picked up. Although these programs have barely reduced the number of mattresses on the street, Shaff said she hopes to see better results next year because the state is expanding its Used Mattress Recovery and Recycling Act of 2013.
Sponsored by state Sen. Loni Hancock, D-Berkeley, the act requires retailers to tack an $11 surcharge onto every mattress they sell to help fund a statewide recycling program. In January, the state will open new collection centers that pay $3 for every mattress they receive. But it might take more than a state law to solve the problem. Oakland, like many other cities, has pockets of highly concentrated poverty. It’s those areas that become magnets for garbage, said UC Berkeley Law Professor John Powell, who directs the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley. “There’s a sense of certain neighborhoods literally and figuratively being dumping grounds,” Powell said, pointing out that more garbage piles up in East Oakland, where there are more abandoned buildings and empty lots than in other parts of the city, and where many residents don’t have cars to haul their old mattresses away. Gallo, in contrast, sees blight as a matter of personal responsibility.
