If someone is currently taking recyclables from your block, call the Berkeley Police non-emergency line at 510-981-5900 and ask for the beat officer. Provide your location, a description of the vehicle or person, and the direction they were traveling.

If the incident already happened, call the Ecology Center Hotline at 510-527-5555 and leave a message. Your report helps us track repeat offenders and build cases.

When reporting, include as much information as possible: date and time, location, vehicle description, license plate (even partial), what you observed, and your contact information if you’re willing to be contacted.
