Even with extra trash pickups, there are giant piles of debris, furniture, clothing, and leftover food in front of apartment buildings.

Scavegers are picking through the trash looking for usable items.

Santa Barbara County, and the Isla Vista Recreation and Park District are stepping up cleanup efforts due to health and safety concerns.
