3 years ago, I cleaned up an illegal dumping site in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has remained clean to this day.

Back in 2023, I cleaned up a massive illegal dumping site so bad it was visible on Google Earth. Three years later, I checked Google Earth again and here’s what it looks like now.

Anybody want some free school supplies?

Hi all,

I have a ton of notebook paper (college ruled) and pens. The pens are all working. Wondering if anybody would like it all for free.

Update from Peng on current status

Hi all,

I want to apologize if my posts have seemed overwhelmingly negative lately. Most of my recent posts have been about some difficult chapters in my life, including being robbed in Oakland, dealing with identity theft and credit card fraud, car troubles, family misfortunes, health challenges, work-related stress, security incident at work, and more. Normally, I would be fine, but when everything happens every 2-3 days, it gets extremely overwhelming.

My hope is to get back to doing cleanups again soon. Unfortunately, the anxiety and stress brought on by everything is preventing me from doing that. It has felt like a dark storm cloud has been followeing me throughout this entire year and it has brought me to my knees.

However, there have been moments when some sunlight has been able to crack through the clouds. Toyota's decision to replace my transmission at no cost was one of those unexpected rays of light, and I remain deeply thankful for that generosity. Even so, I still struggle with feelings of guilt over accepting such help. I know that's something I need to work on. Most importantly, I want to say how incredibly grateful I am for all of your kindness, encouragement, and support. It has meant so much to me. Reading your comments always brings a smile to my face.

I'm hopeful that brighter days are ahead. With that in mind, I'm planning to resume hosting group cleanups starting in mid-August. All of the planning takes place on my Discord, and everyone is welcome to join. I've also started tp host regular game nights on Discord so people can spend time together, make new friends, and simply share a few laughs. I know I certainly need that right now.I know I definitely need it. We play games ranging from Jackbox to Mecca Chameleon and Minecraft. I will be adding new features to Discord as well so that events are easier to access and more.

If you'd like to join my Discord for future group cleanups and regular game nights, please click here.

I am seriously considering about running for office. I am sick of how things are going in the Bay Area and California. I want to see REAL change. I want to represent us all, the forgotten ones who are struggling in this K-shaped economy, have had their personal information exposed by data breaches, and more.

I also made a post earlier this morning regarding the power washing that happens outside my window at 4a in Livermore. I’m sorry if my post was a bit hypocritical. I am very appreciative of clean sidewalks, but I just wished it happened either after 6a or before 1a. I’m surprised the city didn’t consider the noise ordinance which prohibits loud noise between 11p - 7a.

But for now, I need to work on myself first and foremost. I am not a perfect person and I always strive to learn from my mistakes. Let me know if you have questions and concerns.

Yesterday, an Oaklander caught illegal dumpers in her Oakland neighborhood. After I spread news about it on social media, Barbara Lee, the mayor of Oakland, informed me that they will take action against the illegal dumpers.

Thank you u/ennethouse for letting everybody know on r/eastbay.

Back in 2024, I spent weeks cleaning up illegal dumping near the Bay Bridge in the San Francisco Bay Area. I revisited this place recently to see how it now looks. (First two pictures are from before, the last two are now)
