Operator of vehicle one Waste Management employee David Echeverria stated on 06/01/2020 at 12:11 hours he was driving MA com reg V36945 a 2009 Expedi trash truck south bound on Johnson Pl to pick up trash barbells. John Pl is a dead end public way in the city of Newton. Waste Management is contracted by the city of Newton to collect trash. Echeverria stated that since John Pl is a dead end it is common practice to back the truck in because making a three point turn at the end of the street would not be feasible.
