A phone call to the city during business hours will get this picked up, not a complain on this website after 4 PM. This isn't blight. Blight is when someone doesn't take care of their property. This is a slob who chose to just dump something. The city can't pick up what it doesn't know about, but if you call, they will send a truck out to get it.

i agree,even campbell ave is a mess

I guess everyone is entitled to their own definition of "blight," but if you look up a definition, you won't find the one as specific as the one that Katie suggests. As concerns the civic environment, the closest thing I could find is: "the state or result of being blighted or deteriorated; dilapidation; decay." In any case, I did not suggest that the mattress dumping is blight, though I think that it is part of an overall problem in West Haven, that includes, as I wrote, "litter and blight." I've seen WH PW trucks drive right by things such as this, and in fact they do nothing about the illegal dumping that surrounds and is in Morse Park. And they drive right by storm drains clogged with debris. I don't blame them, but rather the fact that there are no directives, no strategy, no vision.

The blue truck frequents at least two cemetaries AFTER HOURS.

Blue pick up trucker dumper appears to have a garbage partner or two , Tan or beige mini van asiatic gentleman dumping boxes and what appears to be medical / lab equipment.
Looks like the same one that was illegally parked and clik fix reported on at the dock of 300 George Street.

Maybe it's been addressed , probably not , sure seems perpetual this dumping stuff about..
But let's close it , close everything , close up , lock up , head out.
