not only bicycle helmets
Early today I rented a truck to haul our cardboard (no
longer allowed in refuse, mandatory recycling). It's about 5 yards of flattened cardboard. At the recycling depot I was told in no uncertain terms by employee and foreman that I cannot, ever, not even just a little bit, dump cardboard from a truck onto the big pile, right next to all the other trucks, unless I wear a regulation hardhat. And an orange vest. Think of the children! -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

And an orange vest. Next visit, ask the foreman if anyone has recently sued for alleged injuries suffered in the yard. My guess is that you'll find that there's some manner of personal injury litigation in progress. That usually results in everyone going on the defensive, which includes the helmet and vest. Locally, a customer falling into the dumpster while dumpster diving, is what precipitated similar safety rules. I have a bright orange work shirt and matching reflective padded jacket. Not good enough as I'm sometimes asked to wear an orange or lime green vest over either one. Think of the children! That takes 9 months. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Put an ad on craigslist in the free section and it will move fast. You won't
have to rent a truck that way, and whoever picks it up for recycling makes a few dollars. "AMuzi" wrote in message ...

It looks the same colour as trees etc, whereas the flou green shows up. I know on railways here orange is still used, but I'm guessing train drivers aren't allowed to be colour blind. |
