Alliance Customers Unload and Double-Park in Front of Alliance Metals...

Alliance is not suppose to allow their customers to unload "their" recycling on our streets or sidewalks...they're suppose to do this inside the facility. They're also not suppose to double-park (see the white Subaru Outback to the left of the blue truck unloading). In these photos you can see both...and see an Alliance employee casually walk by and do nothing.

It's a Daily Parade of Alliance Customers...

Alliance Customers parade down the streets of Dogtown and often times will be in the way of cars trying to navigate this obstacle course. Alliance Customers have no compunction about stopping in the middle of the street (blocking traffic) and arguing with each other or socializing and drinking visible cans of beer...or conducting some surreptitious transaction with sketchy looking cars.

Alliance Customer Trespassing and Stealing Recycling on Magnolia Street...

Alliance counts on this disrespectful and illegal activity to boost their profits. These customers are basically "Alliance employees" that are poorly paid, with no employee benefits (holidays, health care, etc). Alliance Metals will say and do anything to protect what one neighbor refers to as Alliance's Plantation system.

Alliance Customers Dump Stolen Shopping Carts Blocks Away Attracting Other Trash...

This is at 35th Street and San Pablo. Notice the "No Dumping" sign.

Hello

Alliance Refuses to Keep their Doors Closed when Not in Use...

Alliance Metals' facility is toxic and...quite frankly...disgusting. Neighbors across the street (this is the gate on Magnolia) complain about the constant noise and smell. Alliance is suppose to keep their doors closed to help mitigate the noise (can't do much about the smells) but often times they just don't care what the neighbors think. These photos show just that. Residents on 34th Street have the same problem.

More Alliance Customers Blocking Our Streets...

A constant parade of Alliance customers block our streets. This is on Magnolia...but you'll see them on Peralta, 34th, 32nd, Union...all over the neighborhood. Notice the abandoned shopping cart in the 1st photo. Many times Alliance customers don't even bother to wheel "their" carts back home but prefer to dump them in front of our homes...even right in the middle of the street.
