 I'm Brian Stevens, Chief of the Eureka Police Department. Trash, wooden pallets, and other household items are a major issue in our greenbelts, along our waterfront trail, and in our parks, as these items often end up in our homeless encampments. We implore our community to look at alternative ways of discarding such items. Have a rummage sale, donate to a thrift store, or dispose of these items yourself. Help keep our city clean.
