Bottles, cans rate high in road litter problem
SECTION TWO
SANDY, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN. 13, 1972
A survey of 87 section crew
forem en conducted by the
Oregon State Highway Division
durin g its su m m er litte r
cleanup program indicates that
bottles and cans contribute 62
per cent of the total volume of
litter along state highways.
The foremen were asked
independently to judge the per
cent of volume, not by number
of pieces, of litte r made up by
bottles and cans.
Statewide, they reported that
the volume of bottles totaled 22
per cent of the litter, cans
equaled 40 per cent, and
remaining litter amounted to 38
per cent of the total.
On a regional basis, these
figures held pretty firm except
in the W illam ette Valley where
the volume of remaining litter
was listed as 53 per cent, with
18 per cent being bottles and 29
per cent cans. In western
Oregon, the survey showed the
volume of bottles was 19 per
cent, the volume of cans 35 per
cent, and remaining litte r 46
per cent.
In E a s te rn Oregon, the
volume of bottles and cans
reached 70 per cent, with only
30 per cent for remaining litter.
In this region, the volume of
cans reached 44 per cent and
bottles 26 per cent. Along the
Oregon Coast, the volume of
bottles was 18 per cent, cans 42
per cent, and remaining litter
40 per cent.

Hospital full
A shortage of hospital beds in
the Portland area also is being
felt at Gresham Community
Hospital.
Hospital officials reported
Wednesday that the hospital
was full and had been since
Jan. 1. D iey did not attribute
this to problems with the flu, as
reported in other areas, but
rather to a usual upsurge In the
winter months.
Thus far, there have been no
