Landfills

By 1992, all incinerators were discontinued. During 1935, most landfills were created and filled to capcity, and replaced with several highways and parks like Robert Moses. Today, we have only one active landfill in the New York area: Fresh Kills. Welcoming name. Instead of loosing the garbage in random places in the city, they pack it onto barges and carry it across the harbor to Fresh Kills.
