Depending on what you are throwing away, they have lines painted on the ground that you follow. The cashier is very helpful and tells you.

I went here for the first time back in August this year for their full moon ritual and despite not…read morebeing extremely spiritually practiced I felt pretty comfortable and even met some nice people my age. Now here in November I decided to invite my friends to their New Moon event in hopes for a similar experience. We were a little late only due to all the freeway entrances being closed from Watsonville aka something out of our control and not intentional. Last time in August a group of 5 were late and they didn't seem to mind at all! So we were about 15 minutes late, and while I'm not actually upset about this too much, I do wish in the description for the event they would tell you more of what you will do. In the description of the event they don't tell you that you will be pushed to be close with others and touch them after walking around to music and doing protective poses. They don't actually describe most of what you will do, just what the things you will be talking about are. These activities are definitely for more extroverted people who also don't mind touching others or being close, so for my friends and I who just aren't very comfortable doing that, it felt like we were a little scrutinized for not doing the same thing everyone else was doing even though we were trying, we were just a bit shy about it. So if you are more introverted or perhaps anxious around others like me, this place might be hard for you. They did make a comment about how some of us weren't doing the same as others, if they had said you would be doing something like that during the event we would not have gone as to respect the people who do want to do that. We made the decision that the event wasn't for us after staying for about 40 min which anyone should be allowed to do in my opinion, for an event based on being true to yourself and respecting your community simultaneously along w other things, you'd think they'd respect if you decide it's just not your cup of tea, especially after how the energy in there wasn't as positive as you'd think it would be. We decided on the right time to get up and leave and said thank you but that we were leaving, and my friend added on what she enjoyed about the event before we walked to leave. We were all respectful and tried to leave quietly. The event runner had passive aggressively told us that maybe next time we should show up on time and stay through the whole thing, and once we got out of there we decided we weren't comfortable with coming back. I think they talk a lot about their community being accommodating and also paying attention to yourself and what you enjoy and don't enjoy and listening to that, but they don't seem to actually want to put that into practice themselves. I also feel like if you're not advanced in spiritual practices and don't have a ton to say because you're not as knowledgeable you're also kindof looked down on as I felt that a little last time. We had RSVPd, but simply decided it wasn't for us. In our opinions that should be allowed and unfortunately I won't be coming back just as I don't feel like I can actually be my own person in there in a space that is meant to be for that. Once we left and went somewhere else the general attitude felt so much more positive. I don't feel like I can come here and be my true queer self like I should. Update: I've now been told by a few people I know that they had similar experiences after coming here, where they felt judged and could not be themselves while in this space that seems to talk a lot about caring for others and being understanding and kind.

My thoughts and worries about my 'tough job' went out the window. These guys have a job that is far 'tougher' than anything I've ever done. And they do it day in and day out. Anytime I have ever had any dealings with the Scotts Valley Police they have been very polite and professional. And yes... I've gotten a ticket before... and had a car accident in town so I know. I know some of these folks personally and they are great people. P.S. I only gave them 4 stars because I never give anything 5 stars... Keep on doing the great job you do. And I will offer up a 'Thanks' from all of us out here in the public...
