Because of rising costs, the Utah Highway Department has streamlined its litter barrel program by reducing the number of highway barrel sites by more than half, and concentrating the barrels at strategic locations.

State Highway Maintenance Operations Engineer Robert Wheadon says that although the barrel site reduction may appear to be a drastic step, it does make sense. It's much more economical to collect eight barrels in one area than one barrel in eight areas, he said.
