Pick It Up – Toss No Más Recognizes National Secure Your Load Day with Community Cleanup on Saturday, June 20th, 9 am – 12 pm at Gila Community Foundation parking lot
June 6th is National Secure Your Load Day, in remembrance of Matthew Reif, an Arizona man who died in 2006 when a piece of metal flew out of a truck bed and hit his car while driving. Unsecured trash and debris in vehicles or lying along our roadways are not just unsightly, they can be extremely dangerous for drivers, hikers, and bicycle riders on roads. In June, we are encouraging everyone to assess their vehicles before hitting the road. Do you have any loose car parts that could fly off while you're driving? Do you have any items, from a lightweight piece of cardboard or plastic to a heavy sheet of metal, that could blow out of your bed or cab while you're driving? Improving your habits and learning how to secure your load before you hit the road can save lives.
