I downloaded the municipal reporting app SF311 a week ago. Yesterday, I saw a pile of garbage on the sidewalk on the way to the gym and opened the app, snapped a pic and reported what I saw.
Walked back to car and it was cleaned up in under 2 hours! If you are tired of seeing the city in shambles-- I'm telling you, they want to hear from you and need help with residents' proactiveness. So download the app and start with your own neighborhood.

There is actually... For Android and even for iPhone -- if you want to read the fun, check out https://sf311.org/recent-requests
You can report graffiti to the city via the SF 311.org app [Google Play Store | Apple iTunes] or online at https://www.sf311.org/garbage-graffiti
It may take a while but I think they get on it eventually. I've seen them tape up notices require building owners to paint over graffiti on their buildings or be fined. So presumably the city would deal with sidewalk vandalism.
Same happened here! /r/Ingleside
Don’t worry OP, give Recology a call and explain. They’re used to this. 415-330-1300
If anything’s left over, call back and they’ll return.
And all over the city you can (should!) always take thirty seconds to snap a pic of any overflowing trash and/or illegal dumping:
