Garbage. The Saga of a Boss Scavenger in San Francisco by Leonard (Lenny) Stefanelli was published by University of Nevada Press in 2017. The rotated title in tracked-out caps from Alternate Gothic is paired with Gotham XNarrow for the subtitle.
The City of San Francisco produces one million tons of waste per year and has no space for disposal, physically or legally, within its forty-seven square miles. Here waste management companies have wrestled with logistical challenges for decades, and yet regular garbage collection services have never stopped, except one day after the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Leonard (Lenny) Stefanelli has been a part of that ever-evolving industry for sixty-two years.
