You could hold the key to shutting down a repeat illegal dumper in your neighborhood. Always report dumping to OAK311, and if you have photos or information that could help us identify the person responsible, include it in your service request. This could be a physical description, vehicle model, license plate number, or even something as simple as a photo of an address label on a discarded package. Footage from home or business surveillance cameras can also be submitted as evidence. Report online at https://hubs.la/Q02WH7w60 or dial 3-1-1 or (510) 615-5566 to speak with a staff member. Let’s hold dumpers accountable. See dumping? Say something.

On October 23rd, Oakland City leaders, local manufacturing businesses, and community leaders announced a special local partnership between Oaklandish, Artefact, and Kay Chesterfield, Inc. that showcases Oakland’s diverse and growing manufacturing sector. As part of Manufacturing Month, these local Oakland manufacturers hosted an exclusive VIP tour to showcase a new state-of-the-art bio-composite manufacturing system capable of producing new products as part of the circular economy, in which waste is converted into useable products. Artefact is collaborating with Oaklandish to debut a new line of eyewear this holiday season, using fabric scraps from Oaklandish and Kay Chesterfield operations that would otherwise wind up in landfill. The eyewear design collaboration will leverage the iconic designs and brand values of Oaklandish and Artefact’s novel new materials and manufacturing. Oakland has become the center of climate technology innovation in the Bay Area, including the location of many federal and state funded climate startups located in an around the American Steel hub, working in such critical areas as new battery technologies, carbon dioxide capture and storage, and low or negative emission concrete production. Artefact’s production partnership producing low impact and high value products shows how even small, local businesses and workers will benefit from the climate tech advancements coming out of Oakland.
