Continuity mistake: Right before Ernest falls into his trash truck you can see that it is full of a good mixture of trash, i.e. white trash bags, food containers, etc. But when the camera angle cuts and he lands in the trash, it has now changed to all cardboard boxes.

Revealing mistake: When Ernest's jack flies out from under his truck it breaks the back windshield of the mayor's car. Watch closely and you can see the glass shatter before the jack makes contact with it.
