Today was like a dream! For years we wished and wished that we could have big trash trucks ON SITE for one of our cleanups and today it happened. Boyyyyyyy did it ever happen! brought out the heavy equipment: 3 big giant trash trucks, smaller trucks, a John Deere mini truck thing, a Kubota bulldozer thing.
At least 25 hard-working and generous community volunteers, professional crews from LA San, a crew from came together to remove HUGE amounts of illegally dumped trash from Elephant Hill!
How huge? All said and done we cleared about 25 tons of illegally dumped garbage from Elephant Hill. That’s an absolutely insane amount.
9 tons were from Burr St alone, which is pictured here! It’s difficult to explain how much of a big deal it was to have these trucks with us today.
Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who came. You absolutely busted your butts today. That was wild! Those of us who have done one of these cleanups before (the hard way with no heavy equipment and crews) were giddy with excitement. A very very very special thanks to for playing a pivotal role in this dream. Your organization really came through for our community today. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Massive thanks to the master William Gonzalez, champions Elva and Alana of - the gang at - and - that’s Julio Torres at ‘s El Sereno office! I wish I could name all the volunteers! Thank you for donating supplies and giving us your Saturday morning.
Heroes of Elephant Hill is named after you all. Thank you so much!
