Cedar Street resident ‘sick and tired’ of dumpster issues next door Mike Davies
Campbell RiveR miRRoR
Retired millworker Lodovico Fruscalzo tries to keep his property on Cedar Street clean and respectable, and he wishes the rest of the neighbourhood would do the same. “I’m sick and tired of it,” Fruscalzo says in his heavy Italian accent as he stood on the side of Cedar Street last week in his mask and high-vis vest. The dumpster on the property of the four-plex behind him was overflowing, surrounded by full bags and other items that clearly wouldn’t even stay on the top of the pile even if someone had attempted to put them there. He says it’s been like that, “for weeks,” and that it happens, “all the time.” Searra McLeod, a resident of the four-plex, confirms Fruscalzo’s claim. “It has been like that for a long time,” she agrees. “I talked to him (the landlord) last week about it, and he said it was supposed to have been taken away,” she says, peering around the corner at the dumpster. “Obviously it hasn’t.” Fruscalzo doesn’t understand why the city doesn’t put its metaphorical foot down on people who don’t keep up their property. He says he’s been fighting with the city for years about this issue, and keeps being told it’s not their jurisdiction. Karl Read, bylaw enforcement officer for the City of Campbell
