Richard A. Rebello, 35, of South Williams St., was charged with illegal disposal of hazardous waste and illegal transport of hazardous materials without a manifest by the state Department of Environmental Management. The charge carries a penalty of up to $10,000 and up to five years imprisonment. Kurt Schatz, DEM's chief of criminal investigation, alleged today that the dumping isn't Rebello’s first.
“They were certainly upset when they found another load of cans [this] morning,” Schatz said. “And then he came back with another pickup truck full of cans.” The public works workers held him and called the police. “He wouldn’t tell us where he got it from,” Schatz said. “All he said was he was doing a job for someone else.” -- Journal staff writer Alisha A.
