Fresh Kills Landfill

Views5 Comments 0 - Created 2012-03-21
The Fresh Kills Landfill was a landfill covering 2,200 acre in the New York City borough of Staten Island in the United States. The name comes from the landfill's location along the banks of the Fresh Kills estuary in western Staten Island. The landfill was opened in 1947 as a temporary landfill, but eventually became New York City's principal landfill in the second half of the 20th century, and it was once the largest landfill, as well as man-made structure, in the world.

In October 2009, reclamation of the site began on a multi-phase, 30-year site development for reuse as Freshkills Park.
