The flood control channel at Willow Pass Rd. under hwy.242 in Concord is flooded with trash, which will eventually find its way into our local waterways.
It should not be acceptable. However, our governent spends our resources on things I would not. I would shutdown the homeless camps immediately after discovering them as I beleive they are a primary contributor to th e garbage in our channels. I would also go after illegal dumping and unregistered vehicles.
But then again, with our current woke government, cleanliness and law abiding citizens are not a priority.

in the last picture, the dirt area to the left has been one of the largest homeless encampments in all of Concord. You connect the dots on where the garbage came from.

It is disgusting. And it is not acceptable. But there’s no one to deal with it. And zero consequences.

You should see the Concord Ave side. It mysteriously started to get cleaned up about a week ago. Looks like Gavin’s push to “clean up this filth” must be working as he starts to get things together for his 2028 presidential push.
Gavin’s “clean up the filth?” guy can’t even wash his hair.

It is not acceptable but until the homeless problem is properly addressed (not an expert on how) it will be there along with the trash in Walnut/Pacheco creek. The majority seems to be from homeless camping and will all wash down to the straights then into the bay. Could always use work detail to clean until the problem is figured out but just a Band-aid.

These homeless camps are disease bombs waiting to explode.

Why is it acceptable?
what is the penalty? Everyone does it. I am entitled to do whatever I want to do.
While I do dispose of my “stuff” in either a trash or recycling can, some will tell you that I’m brainwashed.

Citizens / residents don’t find it acceptable but obviously local officials don’t mind – out of sight out of mind ….. maybe get the Health Dept. involved to get some urgency behind cleaning it up and keeping it that way… better yet – fix the problem and remove the cause.

Everything is acceptable nowadays and what is so disgusting about it? Yeah it’s garbage trash leaves branches everything washes into those big canals so you can’t expect them to be clean lots of homeless camps are down in them and when the water rises they don’t have time to vacate everything out of there so it gets washed downstream.
If it’s so disgusting why don’t you get a group of people together and go clean it up?

Hi,
I think repeat shop lifters and other minor offeners should clean this up as part of their sentence. They might learn a leason… Just a thought….

What do they expect in a city that allows the homeless to run rampant?
It’s 1994, and I wake up in 2024, surprise!!!!
