    PEEE-YEEEW,,:hello1: Judging by what's still left in the trailer, even with what's on the ground, still overloaded I bet. Some ball buster garbage loads, and mighty top heavy, as this driver found out. The upside is it gives the public a glimpse of the discards of a modern society, mostly plastic..

    More than likely the driver just came from the scrapyard. there’s a couple of junkyards on Bluff City Boulevard about a block and a half east of Bluff City Cemetery. That’s less than a five minute drive from that particular intersection.

    Either way, I can guarantee you that Elgin Police wasn’t none too happy about it and probably wrote up the driver a ****load of fines!

    At least it wasn't a rendering truck or a septic tanker. Garbage is bad enough.


    And what I imagine Brackenridge Park looks like after Easter.

    He was probably leaving a transfer station and heading towards the landfill

    I live in Massachusetts now so it’s literally all behind me!lol
    I lived on the west side of the city,far from that area. For the most part the city just had to contend with pollution getting into the Fox River when I was growing up!
