10/18/25 – Post Cleanup Report – Illegal Dumps at Samoa Peninsula
💥 Post-Cleanup Report – Samoa Peninsula! 💥
What an incredible turnout! This cleanup was a powerful collaboration between the City of Eureka and the Samoa Fire Department, tackling one of the peninsula’s biggest illegal dumping hot spots. 💪
We found the remnants of a home remodel dumped, plus multiple piles of trash that had been hauled in and left illegally. But the community showed up — and together, we made a massive impact! 🙌
In just 60 minutes, our amazing team of 29 volunteers filled two large dumpsters with over 5,600 lbs of trash! 🗑️🔥 Everyone absolutely kicked butt on this one!
A huge THANK YOU to the Samoa Fire Department for bringing out coffee and donuts for all our volunteers, and to everyone who came together to make a difference. 💚 This area will now be monitored more closely for illegal dumping to help keep it clean and protected.
It’s amazing what can happen when a community unites for just one hour. We truly left the Samoa Peninsula cleaner than we found it! 🌊✨
