This is a great story. I'm glad to hear that the illegally dumped junk has been cleaned out of the park. I hope that new junk doesn't appear. Quarry Park is a beautiful park.

It is truly a wonderful thing that Alderman Alex Rhodeen does. Every year he organizes a clean-up in some part of Fair Haven followed by a picnic.
In the past, the Public Works Dept. had specific days scheduled for bulk trash pick-up. Now it is necessary to schedule an appointment with them. Sometimes, it requires months of waiting. Perhaps it would help if the city went back to scheduling specific days. While I don't think it will totally solve the problem of people dumping their bulk trash wherever they please, I think it may help in lessening this problem.
