I agree that would have been much better than a landfill. First thing they should have done is change the darn name of the place...Fresh Kills?

There are a lot of places with the name "Kills" in that area of the country, as it means stream or river.

It means “Clear creeks”, as in pure water.

“kills” is Dutch for river or waterway.
