| Prevent Litter, Cover Your Load!
Uncovered trucks are one of the primary sources of litter
found along our roadways.
California State Vehicle
Code, Section 23115, requires loads to be properly covered.
| 23115. (a) No vehicle transporting
garbage, swill, used cans or bottles, waste papers, waste cardboard, ashes, refuse, trash, or rubbish, or
any noisome, nauseous, or offensive matter, or anything being transported for disposal or recycling shall
be driven or moved upon any highway unless the load is totally covered in a manner that will prevent the
load or any part of the load from spilling or falling from the vehicle. |
Vehicles arriving at the MRWMD landfill in Marina with loads
that are not properly secured are subject to a surcharge of double the disposal fee. |
