 'Trucker bombs' litter highways in Utah
Quote:
PARLEYS CANYON — Just to see the glistening, yellow-filled bottles is bad enough, but then the smell begins to permeate your nostrils, like the caustic sting of ammonia.
The culprit: urine and other human wastes, tossed on the side of the road in plastic bottles or bags, and left to bake in the sun. They've been dubbed "trucker bombs," and in Utah, this type of roadside waste is on the rise, according to state officials.
During a recent trip up Parleys Canyon, 45 waste-filled bottles and bags were counted along a 100-yard stretch of road. Last year, UDOT estimates it removed upwards of 30,000 of these "trucker bombs" from the side of state highways.
