Scotts Valley city workers had a mess to clean up Monday after one of its garbage trucks lost its trailer, spilling rubbish near the intersection of Mt. Hermon and Glen Canyon roads on Monday.

Traffic was limited to one lane around 5:30 p.m. during the cleanup.

The truck was at the start of its 40-mile trek to a Marina landfill in Monterey, which is where Scotts Valley hauls its trash now. The 30-year garbage-hauling deal was signed Dec. 16 with the Monterey Regional Waste Management District.

Scotts Valley city workers had a mess to clean up Monday after one of its council members lost composure, spilling rubbish about percentages opposed to her endorsements. Conversation was limited to number of fingers on one pair of hands. Twenty is possible if you take off her shoes, but incurs added cost of a hazmat crew.

A free one way trip was offered as a solution for this ongoing problem, as there was room on the truck.

Well I guess it doesn't exist then. They must be cleaning up ghost trash.

I never have seen a city owned garbage truck. I have also never seen a garbage truck trailer.

Avoid that business when you have the choice if this is the kind of crap he wants for the city.

And he wanted to be on the Costal Commission, for what? To build a ramp to an oil drill in the Monterey bay? Wow, talk about not giving a crap WHAT your legacy brings.

Maybe recall is in order.

Omen,

You don't have to look beyond the City Council to see who is trashing the City. Did you see the article in today's Sentinel where Bustichi want to allow mini billboard signage for local businesses. We are talking about signs that are twice the size of existing regulations and as large as 200sq feet in size. I'm not surprised that the Vice Mayor wants to make the commercial signage rules more lax. All one has to do is look at his business to see how little he cares about the way some signs look in our town. Check out the photo at:

LOL. The timing on this garbage truck losing it's trailer has to make one laugh. In this same paper where we learn that our trash will now be trucked an even longer distance. Good timing.
