Keep Dimond Clean Coordinator
Keep Dimond Clean Litter Walk LeadersEach Saturday and Wednesday, one of KDC’s litter walk leaders organizes the volunteers – assigning routes, handing out equipment, and reporting results. Our dedicated leaders include Jay Ashford, Noel Black, MarySue Fisher, Heather Harris, Alex Park, Karen Marie Schroeder, Victoria Wake, and Marty Wunsch.
Bay Area Clean TeamBACT–a small, Oakland-based company—has been part of Keep Dimond Clean for many years. Marvin Clark, owner, and staff member Efren perform the paid litter service five days a week (every day except Saturdays and Wednesdays). The route is focused in the commercial area, and includes a limited level of graffiti removal and storm-drain clearing as well.
La Farine BakeryLa Farine Bakery generously provides treats and coffee/tea to Keep Dimond Clean volunteers. Each time a volunteer participates in a Saturday or Wednesday litter walk, she/he receives a La Farine coupon good for two pastries and two coffees, or one loaf of bread. Thank you, Gabby and La Farine!
