American Waste

The mob once controlled New Jersey’s waste business. Now something far more dangerous is in charge.

The child of a murdered scientist, living off grid, is the key to toppling an evil empire.

Lou Carrillo used to go to work.

He was his father’s right hand, hauling waste in a business built on protection and rules. Back then, a permit meant security: no one could horn in on your routes, no one undercut your customers. But those days were gone. Now every morning was like stepping into the target zone of a shooting range. Billion Dollar National Corporation of crooks, fighting you for every inch of turf, the PUC, the EPA watching you like snipers looking for the first slip, and then there’s the creditors, the unions, the vendors all circle like vultures,. an army of shakedown artists. A fleet worth a million, and liabilities worth two, and every fine, every summons, every load of asbestos dumped before it was regulated, is a potential black hole of a law suit . Work was no longer work. It was murder.

Inspired by the author’s Real-Life Triumph Over Industry Fraudsters.Some things don’t decompose.
