Weber Avenue <br /> Stockton, CA 95205 <br /> Att: Robert C. Ronyak <br /> RE: LITTER EMANATING FROM SOLID WASTE COLLECTION. VEHICLES ALONG <br /> AUSTIN ROAD <br /> As you are probably aware, the San Joaquin Local Health District <br /> has received complaints of litter blowing off of collection <br /> trucks along Austin Road. Several of the complaints recently <br /> received seem to indicate that this littering problem occurs <br /> on the return trips after the respective loads have been dumped. <br /> Surveillance of the area indicates some litter, primarily large <br /> plastic and cardboard sheets , papers, and large pieces of wood <br /> or pressed board, has fallen into drainage ditches and blown <br /> into fields . <br /> The San Joaquin Local Health District urges that each and every <br /> collection firm using the Austin Road and Forward, Inc. sites <br /> make a conscientious and judicious effort to practice and adhere <br /> to the following: <br /> 1 . After each and every load is dumped, the vehicle <br /> driver should thoroughly inspect the bed and, if <br /> necessary, manually evacuate any waste residual <br /> by sweeping or scraping the base and sidewalls <br /> of the waste containment area of the vehicle. <br /> 2 . Prior to the collection vehicle' s departure from <br /> the disposal site, the vehicle should be resecured <br /> with tarpaulin, screen, or other tight-fitting, <br /> durable cover. The driver should inspect the <br /> cover to insure that all points of exposure are <br /> covered and that the cover is snug. <br />
