LETTER: Republic trash trucks spewing trash

Driving on Interstate 215 recently, I once again noticed all the trash along the freeway. A moment later, a Republic Services garbage truck passed me and, as usual, every few seconds trash got loose and litter flew out. I have seen the exact same thing happen when a transfer trailer is taking a load to Apex dump.

Republic Services is without a doubt a contributor to the freeways looking so dirty. It seems like the company can do a better job securing its loads. And one last thought: Because the company contributes to the mess, it would be nice to see an Adopt A Highway sign by Republic Services.
