to give you an idea, talking about contra costa county, in 2017-2018, illegal dumping cost contra costa county $600,000 in cleanup costs. compare that to just $200,000 in increase, a $200,000 increase from the year before, gives you a sense of how much more dramatic the problems become. this is according to the think tank, a group that includes representatives from the d.a.'s office, the sheriff's office and public works. take oakland as an example. in 2016, that city's public works department cleaned up around 29,000 piles of illegally dumped trash. that's double the number of pickups from five years before. that's according to the city of oakland. and pickups are expensive. it cost public works here in coco county around $260 to pick up a cubic yard of illegal trash. if that person had just taken that same pile of garbage to the dump, it would have cost that person around $32. reporting live in walnut creek, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> certainly the thing that people are talking about and they don't want it to be around where they live or work. hopefully there will be a solutio
