A portion of Alameda County, including part of Fremont, remains under quarantine for the Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Medfly) following the detection of one wild mated female in Fremont.
What Does this Quarantine Mean?
The quarantine will affect any growers, wholesalers, and retailers of susceptible fruit in the area as well as local residents. Home gardeners are urged to consume homegrown produce on-site and not move it from their property. However, residents living in the quarantine area may consume or process (i.e. juice, cook, or grind in the garbage disposal) fruit on the property where it was picked, or they may dispose of fruit by double-bagging it and placing it in their regular trash bins (not green waste). These actions protect against the artificial spread of the infestation to nearby regions where it could affect California’s food supply and backyard gardens.

 Fremont’s Coastal Cleanup Day: A Community Success
This year’s Coastal Cleanup Day in Fremont was a remarkable display of community spirit and environmental commitment. On Saturday, September 21, a group of 247 enthusiastic volunteers came together to make a significant impact on our local waterways, collecting an impressive 920 pounds of trash, 300 pounds of recyclables, and 180 pounds of compost from seven designated sites throughout Fremont. Among the usual debris, some interesting finds included a shop vac, tow hitch, broom, and even a toy dinosaur. This illustrates the diverse types of waste that accumulate in our environment and emphasizes the importance of keeping our public spaces clean.
A big thank you to all our dedicated volunteers! We encourage everyone to continue their efforts in reducing waste and protecting our natural resources. Together, we can ensure that Fremont remains a beautiful place for generations to come.
