SECURING YOUR WASTE ON YOUR VEHICLE: Failure to secure your load can cause traffic accidents and roadside litter.Here are some tips to:
- Ensure wastes and containers cannot move or shift during transport or sudden stops. Push and pull restrained wastes to test for movement before transport.
- When tarps and netting are used, ensure loose items such as wood pieces and plastic cannot escape around the sides or through gaps in trailer walls.
- Wrap loads of asphalt shingles and drywall with a tarp on top, underneath and surrounding the sides. This contains nails and screws within the load, preventing them from falling off during transport.
- Netting and tie downs are useful for restraining branches.
- Monitor your load while driving.
