CBS 8 viewers in the City of San Diego continue to share their frustrations and their pictures of their trash cans destroyed by city garbage trucks.

“Every time they touch this garbage can, they do something,” said Sandra Castillo, who lives in Clairemont. The lid on her black bin went missing on trash day.

“I’m looking all over for this top, a dayandahalf I’m looking for this top,” said Castillo.

The next day when she and her husband were still searching for the missing lid, they found it in a peculiar place.

“He’s like, ‘Look up.’ I’ll be darned if the top wasn’t all the way up on that pole,” said Castillo, who then called the City of San Diego’s Environmental Services.

“I said, ‘You left my top up on a pole. Can you come get it down?’ And he said, ‘No, you need to get it down yourself.’ I said, ‘I’m in my sixties, I’m not going to climb a telephone pole,’” said Castillo.

Fortunately, she flagged down a passing SDG&E truck, and got her lid down from the utility pole. She attached it back on the trash can with zip ties, but it fell right into the truck on the next trash day, so she asked the City for a replacement lid, but was told her garbage can was too old and that she’d have to pay for an entirely new one along with a delivery charge.
