Alliance Customers Hazardously Double-Park and Block our Streets...














Again, Alliance's facility is too small. Their customer's cars and trucks regularly double-park and block our streets. Other cars are forced to hazardly drive against traffic to get around this constant congestion. Alliance needs to find a new home where there is more room to contain their business activities and not inflict themselves on an innocent neighborhood that deserves more.

Alliance Shamelessly Uses More Stolen Shopping Carts...






Again, more examples of Alliance pushing their cost of doing business on to others and involving the use of other illegal activities.

Alliance Also Uses Our Streets to Repair their Trucks...




Alliance Trucks Litter our Streets...






Another part of Alliance's business plan to to use our streets as their personal parking lot. Alliance's facilties are too small that they have to move their truck out in order to make room for their customers. Why doesn't Alliance have it's own parking lots? Pak N Sav does. Home Depot does. Alliance's continues to profit by negatively impacting others.

Part of Alliance's Business Plan Makes Use of Stolen Shopping Carts...






Part of Alliance's business plan is to make use of stolen shopping carts brought in by their customers which in turn Alliance lends out to other customers. Another part of Alliance's business plan is to make use of the "down and out" to steal bottles and cans from recycling bins all over Oakland. In effect, Alliance is stealing from the City of Oakland. Alliance is stealing from us. And profiting to the tune of $10,000,000 a year.

Alliance Please Clean Up Your S***...Literally...




Neighborhood folk don't like walking around Alliance Metals. Not only does it smell, it is a public restroom for Alliance customers. Here is a photo of some recent defectation. The community has asked Alliance to fence off their landscaping since their customers frequently like to hide in the shrubbery to piss and take a crap. As is typical, Alliance doesn't (pardon the pun) give a s***. Our pleas have been ignored and this section of Alliance has been without a fence for over a year. You'll also notice the graffiti on the walls. Alliance will leave graffiti on it's building for weeks. Alliance is the biggest blight and health issue facing our neighborhood.

Alliance Customers Steal Recycling Bins More than a Mile Away...



This recycling bin was stolen from Athens Street more than a mile away from Alliance (you can see the address painted on the bin). This bin has been on this corner for several days now. Alliance allows it's customers to bring in stolen goods from stolen recycling bins. Alliance claims that they don't accept goods brought in via recycling bins but what Alliance doesn't say is that they then loan stolen shopping carts to their customers in which they transfer their stolen goods and then wheel into Alliance's facilities...leaving or dumping the stolen recycling bins on our streets. Alliance customers get their drug money, Alliance increases it's revenue, the neighbor gets trashed.
