Somebody has to keep the clean and green folks in business picking up litter, might as well be the ECUA trucks. Kind of ironic that the bigest litterbugs in the county are the garbage trucks.

They might consider closing the doors when driving down the road. Oh they aren’t responsible for that huh.

Its not just the recycle trucks. In our area, the regular trucks seem to pick up the trash and spread it along the roadway. I know that folks are supposed to bag all the trash, but there are lots of folks who, obvoiusly, do not care about trash along the roadway. When they drive along the road, they use the oportunity to get rid of the trash in their vehicle. These folks are not going to go to the trouble to bag their trash. We need another solution.

Another problem we have with the trucks is the effluent coming out of the truck when the garbage is squeezed. That is the most filthy maggot laden stinking mess one could imagine. I have on occasion had to haul dirt and spread over the stinch so we could stay home.

more cost for bags to bag , will it ever end? what next?

Using grocery or other shopping bags to "bag your bags" is perfectly fine, and should not cost anything more. This is particularly important for small, lightweight objects disposed of in your garbage AND recycling containers.

Also, I will forward the information regarding the speeding issue to our Sanitation Director. We'll definitely look into it.

I agree that there has been so much more litter on the highway since recycling started. We really don’t need more trash on the roads. Bagging it seems to be a good solution. Now if the ECUA would put a stop on the speeding it would also help. A recycling truck went by on our road -hwy 99 s- last week doing at least 65 mph and didn’t even stop to empty our can. They had to send someone the next day to get it. To me, that is a real waste of fuel, time, and money. THIS COULD BE CORRECTED.
