Since 1938 compactor garbage truck drivers have been pressing and compacting garbage in our cities.  This action allows them  to seperate the fluid from the solid garbage . The fluid is garbage leachate and has been systematically spread all over streets and lanes of cities on this continent.
We have been subjected to almost seven decades of being covered with the leachate that is spread everywhere these leaky trucks have traveled.  I say leaky, however, in many cases the leachate is drained to lighten the load in the truck allowing for garbage from more dumpsters to be picked up each run. This allows some drivers to earn large bonuses.
In this web site (and the links I'll add) I will show you how this issue has been addressed politically.
 

In this web site I will show 14 years of attempting to stop the systematic release of garbage leachate on to the streets of Vancouver. I will show 9 years of addressing the issue Provincially, Federally and Internationally. Our health has been compromised and this Environmental Health issue is still being allowed to continue.

The water is affected and we all need to drink water. The air is affected and we all have to breathe. Food needs clean water, land and air to ensure it does not become contaminated.

This truck is systematically spreading garbage leachate wherever it travels

Garbage leachate or as the Vancouver City Hall staff prefer to call it 'Hopper Juice' is still being released all over our cities.
I will add pages in this web site that will show the chain of events as they have unfolded.  From the first letter to Vancouver's  Mayor Gordon Campbell, Council  and Vancouver City Hall  staff  in July 1991 addressing the issue of the release of garbage leachate from a compactor garbage truck until the most recent spill May 10,2005.
 
The pages on this web site will give an outline of the issue of the systematic release of garbage leachate on to the streets of cities in North America since 1938.
 
The items in the index of documentation will be made available through links to this web site.
