The folks in Highland Hills have issues with their new neighbor.
Destructors Inc. has run a concrete crushing plant at Interstate 20 and Interstate 35W for about 10 months, and local residents say that they can’t stand the noise and dust.
The company got what was supposed to be a temporary permit from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality this year. Now, the company is seeking permission to keep the plant there permanently. A decision could come as early as next month after a 30-day period for accepting written comments.
“We definitely do not want it,” said Moses Davis, president of the Highland Hills neighborhood association.
A FORMER Muar municipal councillor has blasted a company responsible for garbage collection for its poor services which he claimed has turned Bandar Maharani into a rubbish dumping ground.
Ho Su Mong, who was the council’s works and development committee chairman for nine years, said Southern Waste Management Sdn Bhd (SWM) had neglected its obligations with poor service.
He said among the complaints was that in the Bakri new village, the garbage trucks would only appear once in 10 days. In other areas, it is between three and seven days.
“With such poor services, residents are forced to dump their rubbish along the roads.
“This has turned the town into a rubbish dump,” he said at the Muar district Coffee Merchants’ Association’s dinner here on Saturday night.
Ho, who is the association’s chairman, said residents could no longer tolerate shoddy services especially now when the roads are dirtied by leachate from the leaking trucks.

Christmas presents and a lecture were on Nancy Hammel’s mind as she drove east through the snow and sleet on Interstate 70 at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
In the bed of the truck were two living room chairs and a recliner, Christmas presents for a pregnant daughter. After dropping off the chairs in Olathe, Hammel, 54, was to head toward the airport and fly to Las Vegas to deliver a lecture on dental organizations.
Before all this happened, she drove over a slick spot, slipped left into the other lane and … BAM!
A semitrailer in the left eastbound lane slammed into her truck, flipping it multiple times into the median, where it landed on the roof.
Hammel would walk away with no injuries and make her flight to Las Vegas.

have waited to see if a truck driver would write concerning your series “Big rigs, big risk” (Oct. 21-22), but all that I have seen was the letter from the retired Massachusetts Department of Transportation worker.
As a retired truck driver with approximately 35 years experience, I think there are some items that need some further exploration.
The articles continuously refer to dump trucks and tractor-trailers, when it seems that you were really going after the dump trucks. But when you do that, it seems that you have to get all trucks in some way.
Truck drivers are subject to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations from the U. S. Department of Transportation, parts 40, 380, 382, 383, 387, 390-397, 399 Subchapter B, Chapter 3, Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Just like other federal regulations, the IRS in particular, they are lengthy and complicated.
A construction worker was killed this afternoon in the Ballenger Farm subdivision after the bed of a dump truck crushed him.
Nolensville Police Chief Paul Rigsby said the incident happened , as three workers tried to fix one of the dump trucks at a house construction site.
“They had a dump truck that the bed would not raise up,” Rigsby said. “So they took a track hoe excavator and hooked it onto the dump truck and raised the bed up with the excavator in order to gain access to the hydraulic tank.”
Rigsby said the three men got under the raised bed to pour oil into the hydraulic tank.
Ali is a young Chadian man who lives, works and eats in and from Jeddah’s trash dump.
“The dump is my life and I don’t know what to do when it’s relocated,” he said, referring to the municipality’s plans to relocate the dump to a larger, more modern complex, one that will also be fenced-in, making it difficult for men like Ali to continue their trade. The new dump is tentatively scheduled to open in January and will reportedly include recycling and reclamation facilities.
Ali is one of hundreds who see the hidden treasures in what is known to the rest of us as garbage. These nearly 150 trash-dump recyclers seek their wealth by burning garbage to expose metals and collect whatever can be sold as raw material.
Dump vehicles come in a dizzying array of configurations - standard dump truck, Superdump, transfer dump truck, truck and pup, tractor with end dump trailer, tractor with side dump trailer, tractor with bottom dump trailer, etc. And each of these options can be further customized.
To find the best solution for your applications, you really need to understand the benefits and trade-offs associated with each choice, then match that with your operation and regional regulations.
A standard dump truck is a full truck chassis with a dump body mounted to the frame. The dump body is raised by a hydraulic ram mounted forward of the front bulkhead, between the truck cab (traction unit) and the dump body (semi-trailer). The tailgate can be configured to swing on hinges or it can be configured in the "High Lift Tailgate" format wherein pneumatic rams lift the gate open and up above the dump body.
