Litter that flies out the back of truck beds is one of the biggest sources of roadside litter in Massachusetts. A recent study by Litter Free Falmouth and .org found that 36% of roadside litter on Route 28 in Falmouth comes from improperly secured truck bed loads. 🛻

A new public awareness campaign seeks to educate commercial and personal truck owners about the need to secure their truck bed loads. The poster depicted here is being shared with Cape Cod landscaping and construction companies, as well as local departments of public works. If more truck drivers took greater care with their truck bed loads, that would significantly reduce the volume of “flyaway” litter on our roadsides.
