Industrial waste poured down storm drain in Davis Square

Bobob reports:

I was walking in the Davis Square area and saw a man from a industrial cleaning company dumping his cleaning waste down the street sewer from his van -- it was pretty stinky. I'm assuming this is illegal because when he saw me he packed up his truck and took off in a hurry. ...

I really wish this guy had his camera or cellphone camera on him, because assholes like this need to be documented and turned in.

Not only is he making a buck off improperly disposing of the waste, he's also helping to undo years of hard work Boston and it's residents have done to clean up the harbor and waterways, and make them a place people want to come out to enjoy and see.

I'm sure the MWRA would like to know some details

This waste product is also increasing our sewer and water bills by putting things into the system that are difficult to remove. I'm not sure the storm drains in Davis Square are completely separated from the general sewage system, so it does matter.

On the same day we read about CHUD suppliers, we read about evil psycho spitters in Davis Square:

... It happened while we were passing the McDonald's in Davis Square. The McDonald's door opened and a man walked out. He made eye contact with me, and with a vicious look on his face, spat at me. He stormed past and when I called after him, he put his arms over his head and bent down, like a child covering his ears at a loud noise or about to be struck by an abusive parent.

Whuffle looked at me and was aghast. Apparently the psycho had gotten me good.

I dabbed at the mess with my handkerchief but it was soon soaked. ...

As soon as I moved out of Davis, the neighborhood headed downhill. Sorry everybody! :P
