Not a vehicle, but a ‘trash container’

Vehicle covered with garbage in Adana astonishes onlookers. In Adana, a vehicle covered with garbage, which is learned to belong to a paper collector and where the collector leaves the garbage of neighborhood residents along with what they have collected, astonishes those who see it. Neighborhood residents, who occasionally witness interesting scenes around the vehicle due to the garbage, stated that with the arrival of the summer months, there has been an increase in the smell coming from the vehicle. Residents of Mahfesiğmaz Neighborhood in Cukurova district expressed their discomfort with the bad appearance of the vehicle on the street, which has its trunk unable to close due to garbage and various plastic, metal, and cardboard on the seats, and the smell it emits. They mentioned that the vehicle with license plate number 01 B 7827, located in Mahfesiğmaz Neighborhood of Cukurova district, is being used as a garbage collection point by a person collecting garbage and is not in a condition to be ridden. ‘The interior of the vehicle is not suitable for anyone to ride in,’ said Bülent Sezgin, who regularly sees the vehicle in the neighborhood. ‘It does not have a good appearance for this environment. People pass by holding their noses due to the garbage. I was surprised when I first saw it, I saw someone filling the car. He was an elderly man with a hat. He collects paper from here and there, leaves it next to the car. Then, after accumulating it in a certain way, he sells it by taking it away. The interior of the vehicle is not suitable for anyone to ride in anyway. The interior of the vehicle is full of plastic, plastic bottles, tin, and cardboard boxes. It caught my attention in winter months as well, but this is the first time I have seen it so full and crammed. I was faced with a disgusting sight.’ Süheyla Özbilen, mentioning that the smell emitted by the vehicle increased with the arrival of the summer months, said, ‘We regularly encounter this sight. I also saw the garbage spilled on the ground. With the increase in smells in summer, people get uncomfortable. It would be good if it is resolved as soon as possible.’
