Reviews

Leonard 'Lenny' Stefanelli, a third generation Italian-American born in San Francisco in 1934, began his career as a 'scavenger' (garbage collector) in the garbage disposal business at age 19. His memoirs make a substantial contribution to the history of the Italian-dominated solid waste industry in a unique and challenging environment such as the city of San Francisco. His writing style is often as raw as the subject matter he so masterfully describes. - Silvio Manno, author of Charcoal and Blood: Italian Immigrants in Eureka, Nevada, and the Fish Creek Massacre
