The City of Oakland has obtained a new truck to help combat illegal dumping. This effort is part of a larger initiative to address a serious health crisis in the area. Public works crews have already seen success with the new truck, removing a significant amount of garbage from city streets.

Since the truck started operating, 17 tons of garbage have been collected. Further details about the specialty truck and Oakland's efforts to combat illegal dumping are available from local news sources, including KRON4.
