yes, and while i was out walking my dog along east avenue monday around dinnertime, i saw two really blatant incidents of out of towners dumping in west haven. one woman pulled up to the curb grace and i just walked by. she took a pile of leaders and gutters out of her hatchback and put them on the planting strip by the sidewalk. then she drove away.
a few minutes later (we had only gone a half a block), a couple was cruising the street in a white van with a roof rack with a delapidated sofa and loveseat on it. he parked at the corner of east and park and toppled both the sofa and the loveseat into the gutter. then his wife got out and they carried both pieces to the planting strip and drove away. both of these incidents were within a space of just a few minutes. no wonder west haven looks so derilect... not to mention how much this illegal dumping is costing us.
