Beginning July 1, 2009, open-bed trucks without a tarp covering debris will be charged a fee of $20.00 in addition to established disposal fees. A new tarp will be distributed to customers for future use.
Why use a tarp to cover the debris in your truck's bed?
- Avoid a potential fine of $271 per California Vehicle code Section 23114.
- Make the roadways safer by preventing litter from blowing off your truck.
- Blown litter and debris from uncovered trucks may result in serious accidents.
- Prevent litter and debris blown from your vehicle from polluting roadways and waterways.
