MASTIC BEACH, N.Y. (AP) -- A father and son are facing almost $20,000 in fees and fines after New York authorities say they removed about 42 tons of trash from their property.
Brookhaven Town officials say they took away tires, car parts, hoses and other trash, about 85,000 pounds [Newsday] in all, piled up on a residential lot in Mastic Beach on eastern Long Island.
The site on Daisy Drive also has a single-family home, where John W. Mallgren and his son, John R. Mallgren, live.
Authorities say the Mallgrens will have to pay $8,742 for removal of the trash, which filled 10 garbage trucks. They also face fines. The house was condemned last month.
Neither Mallgren could immediately be reached for comment.
