Garbage Mobster: Reputed Boss of the Philly Mob Is Linked To New Jersey Trash Haulers

Trash is big business.

George Anastasia, the Philadelphia Inquirer's veteran organized crime reporter, writes that Joseph Ligambi, the reputed boss of the Philadelphia/South Jersey Cosa Nostra crime family, has been linked to trash haulers.

Reputed Mafia don Joseph "Uncle Joe" Ligambi, who is awaiting trial on racketeering charges in Philadelphia, is a "garbage mobster," according to a report issued Tuesday by the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation.

Ligambi's connection to a trash hauler with ties to Philadelphia and South Jersey disposal companies was noted in "Industrious Subversion," the commission's look at organized crime's incursion into the solid-waste-disposal and recycling industries.
