Regarding Tony DeLucco’s April 22 letter, “Restore beauty of Blandford Drive,” my husband and I couldn’t agree more. It’s terrible how this beautiful canyon gets littered up.
The writer hadn’t considered one of the reasons for the litter — the recycle trucks. I wouldn’t have thought of it myself if I hadn’t followed it one day about a year ago when tiny pieces of recycle paper were flying out the top of that truck all the way down the canyon. I called Waste Connections about it but nothing seemed to change. Afterward, there were still several instances of tiny paper litter scattered around.
About a month ago, when we saw the real estate brochure litter, my husband called again and talked to a supervisor. He said drivers should be using a push down blade that helps keep the stuff in the truck. He said he would talk to the drivers so we should see a “vast improvement.” Let’s hope so.
The beer bottles are another issue. Broken glass is hazardous to the numerous bicyclists who use this main corridor.
