    Even if trash cans are not available, don't just throw trash out. I keep a walmart bag hanging from my passenger seat. Even if it's full and i am unable to throw it away properly it stays in my truck until i can. I spent a lot of my summers growing up in my dad's truck and had i ever thrown trash out like that i would have been beat until i couldn't walk.
    Now i take off for a month each summer to take my wife and 2 girls to the lake and my oldest takes very good care in educating people on all types of things (typical 5 yr old ) but she calls out litter bugs as loud as she can. Wish she had been with me.

    If they are a company driver, take a picture of it on the ground next to the truck, also get the truck number. Document the location and time it happened. Send this in an email to their company safety department with an explanation that you saw them throw it out of the window.

    Although that really is a good idea, I disagree with it, and here's why.

    The picture would only show the trash on the ground. Actually no proof he actually put it there. I have posted here already where I parked, there was trash already on the ground, so should I then be pictured parking next to it and you send in a report on me?

    Better to have either a video, or several pics of him sticking his arm out the window, as BETTER proof. A guy could be reprimanded for no reason, all because someone see's something, and ASSUMES he did it?

    I can assure you that if YOU had pulled into a parking spot and someone snapped a pic of you and sent it in, you'd not be a happy camper, now would you?

    Be honest now.

    Unless you keep a rolling video recorder fixated on other trucks(or have Nostradamus-like powers that can predict somebody will throw garbage out of a truck), NO WAY you can do that. That's being honest.

    You'd be surprised what you can find in a bag of soil or compost here. Look up "biosolids."

    I once saw a driver who took his dog out for basic need, he then watch his dog poop on the lawn where everybody could walk on and he did not pick up after his dog, i pick it up and put it right on his step.

    I did not stay to see his reaction but as far as i know he got what he ask for!

    Actually for security reasons our trucks are equipped with a 4 channel on board dvr. Ask the U.S. Express driver that cut in between my escort & me when i was hauling 1.1. He tried like everything to deny that he cut me off to his company. View attachment 80857

    Some slobs from 'Western Freight Carriers' just pulled in to the J at McCalla Alabama on I20. They took a garbage can out of the truc,, walked behind my trailer and dumped it on the ground. They then got their bags and went and took a shower... then came back and split.
    When they went to shower, I went to put the trash on their truck like the OP did... but it looked like they had relieved themselves in the can also...so I let it lie.... ####### slobs....
