Salvatore Avellino Jr. (born November 19, 1935), also known as Sally, is an American mobster and former caporegime in the Lucchese crime family who was involved in labor racketeering in the garbage and waste management industry on Long Island, New York.

[3] In 1983, members of the New York State Organized Crime Task Force (OCTF) installed an electronic surveillance device inside the dashboard on Avellino's Jaguar while he and his wife were at a dinner dance.

[6] Salvatore Avellino oversaw operations of Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) Local 66 in Long Island.

For nearly 15 years, Avellino used aggressive strong-arm tactics to keep Long Island's waste hauling industry under Lucchese family control.

[10] In 1986, facing evidence from the car recordings, Avellino pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges of using coercion to prevent Robert Kubecka from bidding on waste hauling contracts on Long Island.

Allegedly on August 11, 1989, Lucchese gunmen Rocco Vitulli and Frank "Frankie the Pearl" Federico burst into Kubecka's office in East Northport, New York, where he and his brother-in-law, Donald Barstow, were working.

[15] In March 2001, Avellino pleaded guilty to using threats of violence to run his Long Island waste hauling business from federal prison.
