I don't know if you have noticed the piles of rubbish that are starting form around our streets and on our roads.
I certainly have and in the past I have put the blame on individuals directly letting rubbish and waste just drop and collect within our highway network.
However, some blame must go to skip hire trucks who by driving too fast with a skip as cargo cause waste to fall from the skip onto the streets and into the path of minor and major roads. It is really is a problem, especially when litter than affect drivers and how well they perform on the road.
drivers not only have to sweve past a coke can on the road, but may even be temporaliy blinded by a piece of rubbish landing on their windscreen. Imagine a newspaper blocking your vision on the M60 while you are travelling at 90 MPH?
skip hire companies are to blame for the most part, they should take measures to ensure skip hire lorry drivers are careful on the roads. The roads need to be safe for not only them, but others too.
There are many ways to stop this. Attaching a skip net is one way, this will definitely make sure that the skip's contents won't end up where it shouldn't.
Even easier than that, there should be a joint responsibility by skip hirer and truck driver to ensure that the skip is not too full to stop waste flying out of it as soon as the driver puts their foot on the accelerator.
if everyone does their part, then we can ensure a safe and clean environment for our kids, the future of the world. - 15784
