CTA hopes to put a lid on highway litter

OTTAWA -- Not all litter along the highway comes from commercial vehicles, but many provincial associations are hearing about the trash that does.

As a result, the Canadian Trucking Alliance is teaming up with the provincial associations to and the provincial trucking associations work together to put a stop to this behaviour which it says is inappropriate, unhygienic and harmful to the industry's image.

The number one complaint fielded by the associations is the problem of bottles filled with bodily fluid waste being tossed onto the sides of roads and highways and/or in parking lots. They concede that the shortage of decent rest stop facilities in Canada, soft shoulders which make pulling over difficult and truckers' own personal safety are legitimate concerns which might be used as a contributing factor in the perceived increase in the problem.
