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.
