The battle between Mayor Geoff Ellsworth and Upper Valley Disposal Service escalated this week, with the companyâs chief operating officer calling on him to resign.
Rob Anglin, an attorney for UVDS, told the city on Monday that Ellsworth solicited the waste management firm Recology to provide service to the City of St. Helena.
UVDS and Clover Flat Landfill have exclusive long-term franchise agreements with the Upper Valley Waste Management Agency (UVWMA) to provide waste management services in St. Helena, Calistoga, Yountville, and the unincorporated Upvalley.
Christy Pestoni, chief operating officer for UVDS and Clover Flat and a St. Helena resident, called on Ellsworth to resign âfor the sake of our town. She accused him of putting his advocacy against her companies ahead of pressing city issues like water.

A performer in the Sockrates Sock Puppet Carnival of Morals and Logic production Waiting for Spinal Wind.
The title may seem slightly threatening, until/unless you catch the reference: the comedic canon of mock documentary films (
Waiting for Guffman, This Is Spinal Tap, etc.) starring Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean, Eugene Levy, Catherine O Hara, and many more talented cast members. An equally all-star lineup of Madison performers gathers virtually for a variety show featuring songs and skits from the films and other related material, all tied together by the inimitable Sockrates Sock Puppet Carnival of Morals and Logic. If you have not encountered the Sockrates troupe in the past, it s time to get acquainted. Donations benefit the Madison Children s Museum; the livestream premiere can be found on Facebook.
