MASON CITY – A reminder: Tarp your trucks and wagons on the way to the landfill. There may be a few out there who still don’t know.
Saturday, two men from Hampton found out the hard way.
The pair had traveled up Interstate 35, into Mason City on Highway 122 and turned south on South Eisenhower when a glass window dropped out of the back of their truck and shattered on all four lanes.
A Mason City Police Officer was on location directing traffic, but not before some unfortunate drivers drove over the broken glass. No tires appeared to blow.
Wal-Mart employees swept up the glass with the help of the two Hampton men.
The two men were informed that they would have to tarp their load. They were also told that the North Iowa Landfill will make them leave with their load and maybe get a possible fine.
They purchased a tarp and rope, covered their garbage, and proceeded on their way.
