WPTV is committed to helping you find solutions to your daily concerns. We are giving a voice to a West Palm Beach business owner who gave us a call after seeing piles garbage along I-95 during her morning commute to work.
“I-95 looks like a third world kind of garbage dump,” said Goodrich. “The trash is disgusting and if someone needs to pick it up, we need find out who that person is.”
WPTV took these concerns directly to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), they explained the detailed process that goes into keeping the roadways in Palm Beach County clean and clear of an garbage.
“The Regional Traffic Management Center (RTMC) monitors I-95 with cameras 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and coordinates with Road Rangers and/or the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) when large debris is observed.

In some sections of PBC, we remove an average of 30 metric tons of debris from the roadways per month.”…
