The Solid Waste Group cleans up unauthorized homeless encampments that have been abandoned on public property. Cleanup efforts are intended to help maintain public health and safety. The City offers a number of direct services for people experiencing homelessness, including garbage dumpsters, porta-potties, access to water and showers, and free vouchers for wastewater dumps for people living in recreational vehicles.
