Our waste hauler Republic Services has reported that during the Monday route, a resident approached a truck and threw something into the back of the truck while the driver was operating the remote mechanical arm to empty a recycling container.

We cannot stress too strongly how dangerous this was and need to express in the most serious terms possible that this cannot happen again for a host of reasons with resident safety being the foremost.

DO NOT APPROACH A TRUCK THAT IS IN THE ACT OF DUMPING THE CONTAINER WITH THE REMOTE MECHANICAL ARM.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GET THE DRIVER/OPERATOR’S ATTENTION WHILE THEY ARE OPERATING THE ARM.

DO NOT THROW ITEMS INTO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK.

The last thing our waste hauler and the township wants is for a resident to be injured in any way or potentially killed in the process of our hauler collecting resident’s trash and recycling materials.

Thank you for your attention to this very serious safety concern.
