Dumpsters Of Commerce, 2009

Posted on by

There’s lots of concern over carbon emissions and other mythical hazards, but still there every day, putting real health hazards at your feet (and hands, arms, head etc) is the healthy seagull population. The gulls are well fed by the downtown merchants (and even the city this year) that leave garbage uncovered.

We can always count on Fandangos on 17th Street to leave the finest garbage out in the open

and P.G. Juice & Java keeping the open garbage behind a wall but perfect for a birds’ eye view

Keep a watch on Zacolo, Lighthouse Cafe, Peppers, Grapes O Wrath, etc. New to the game this year is the City Of P.G. with their own sidewalk garbage. 3 cans in a row on Lighthouse with no covers. Way to go P.G.

Not downtown, but a violation none the less. Pacific Grove Golf. That cardboard tube has propped the lid open all week.

Also not downtown. It’s in a closed compound, but the bird’s eye view is wide open.

And now our most consistent winners. The businesses that always can be found with garbage open to the air, offering treats to gulls, raccoons and other vermin.

And Grapes Of Wrath Catering. Garbage is never closed.

Gulls and pigeons. Crows. Rats. Raccoons. Scavengers finding a free lunch and using Pacific Grove as a toilet. When will the merchants show that they care about P.G. more than for the money they rake in? If this is how they take care of their trash, how clean do you think the kitchens are? Are the food storage containers covered? Is the floor clean?

Pictures are totally unrehearsed. Examples are exactly as they were found. No laws were broken obtaining the pictures.

Rons Liquor doesn’t even have a dumpster – the sidewalk is his trash can.

Small Update – A citizen turned this matter over the Monterey County Health department, who said that in the week of the 7th the businesses will be visited. Did it happen? If it did, it made little difference.

Fandangos did close the lid, but the gulls take advantage of sloppy housekeeping.

At Least It Will Sustain P.G. Raccoons

plus rats, mice, gulls and other vermin. P.G.’s businesses try and keep costs down by not paying for trash bins large enough for all the garbage they create. Some even cram the sidewalk cans with their business garbage.

This is particularly bad

Lots of garbage on the ground –

Juice N Java still sustains a fire hazard

And Lighthouse Cafe offers a little waste wheely loaded with 50% more than it’s made for, fire hazard bin and barrel of grease.

Blog entry from March about P.G. Juice n Java piling trash in the planter box next to the overflowing dumpster.

Pallets, paper and cardboard. Certainly combustible. So, does this qualify as an “accumulation”? Or does LBAM Moth spray fireproof rubbish?
