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.
