The Pandas Win, Round 1

Pursuant to our Pandish demands, UC Berkeley placed portable trash, recycling, and compost containers at pullouts 2, 3, and 4, as shown on this map. A recent check shows that visitor are indeed filling these containers with litter which would likely otherwise end up on the ground.

While we welcome Cal's tentative first step to take care of its land, this is not enough. No trash cans have been placed at pullouts 0, 5, 7, or the unmarked pullout linked here, which serves several heavily-used trail. More importantly, these portable containers are not the "standard receptacles for outdoor locations at UC Berkeley" mandated by Cal's own Zero Waste Plan and will quickly end up destroyed, thrown down the mountain, or both.

As discussed on our Views page, Cal must place and maintain Bigbelly trash, recycling, and compost containers at all of Grizzly Peak's pullouts to competently capture the site's significant waste stream.
