Waste firm head accuses city of favors in dumping fees
Joseph D. Delmolino, head of a Cheshire mass waste removal firm, told the city Board of Health that his company paid no dumping fees in North Adams because of favors exchanged with the highway and public works department. He said he supplied parts and equipment loans for snow removal, with verbal approvals granted two years ago by Mayor Bianco and public works chief Girardi. Girardi denied the charges. Bianco was away. The report also notes another dumping controversy involving a third company. Also listed are Girl Scout training workshops in Arlington with dates and topics set for Oct. 14, 21, and 28 at the Arlington Community House.
