About this Spot
Gilman encampments, underneath, and around the overpass.
It’s best to join an organized cleanup, before working solo in this area.
Trash Note
Most of the litter is abandoned campsites, and waste middens from the camps themselves. Trash also blows in from the highway. Dumping, usually construction waste, is also common in this area.
Useful items like wood, poles or other building materials, should be left, or stacked at the edge of trash piles so they can be recovered.
Most active camps have collections of clothes or parts that may appear to be trash, but are still prized. Litter is often mixed in with these collections.
When working near an active camp, talk to residents to get guidance about what can be taken away.
Avoid cleaning active campsites unless you talk to the residents and get guidance from residents about what can be taken away. Potentially needles around homeless campsites.
