MA: City fines man for dumping tax forms

Posted on February 7, 2009 by Dissent

Laura Crimaldi and Frank Quaratiello report:

City inspectors in Boston have fined a Norwood man $2,500 after finding “thousands” of tax documents containing sensitive personal information in a Dumpster behind a dollar store in Hyde Park.

Employees at a Family Dollar store at 1248 River St. discovered the unshredded tax documents yesterday when they attempted to dispose material for recycling, said Inspectional Services Department spokeswoman Lisa Timberlake.

City inspectors said the tax documents, which date back to 1985, were prepared by R.P. Letourneau Accounting Services in Dedham. The city is fining Raymond P. Letourneau for illegal dumping, Timberlake said.
