Tackling road safety in the waste and refuse industry
Every year 258 million tons of waste is thrown away in the US and the majority of it is collected by refuse vehicles and recycling trucks.
From narrow residential streets to commercial premises, and waste handling and recycling sites, navigating roads and maneuvering refuse vehicles safely can be a tough challenge. Poor weather, inconsiderately parked cars, and narrow access are just some of the hazards drivers have to contend with on a daily basis.
