Description
Yet another illegal dump into East Rock Park, at one of the "top 3" locations for such dumping: I see car tires, a box spring/mattress, and other assorted detritus. Where is the camera footage? Where is the enforcement?? There's not even a sign here with a "No Dumping $200 fine" message! It's like no one cares...

To the best of my knowledge Hamden Public Works has never had any maintenance responsibility for any portion of East Rock Park.
Since it is definitely a New Haven Parks issue (despite the Hamden geo-location) and since you're pretty certain they're already familiar with these heavy dumping spots, it's probably better if we forward the information directly to Rebecca Bombero and Dan Barvir. I'll get their e-mail addresses.

I e-mailed your description of the debris locations to Ms. Bombero and to Mr. Barvir and I've received the following response from Ranger Barvir:
Thanks for the heads up
Reports like yours are coming in daily.
Illegal dumping seems out of control.
We will address matter as soon as possible.
Thanks again
I'll leave this issue open with the hope & expectation that they'll remove the debris in timely fashion
