Who’s up for a history lesson? From 1955 to 2001 Fresh Kills was home to the largest landfill in the world, pulling in 29,000 tons of waste per day, creating giant mounds of garbage up to 200 feet tall. Then the city did a lil rebranding, a lil landscaping, and now Freshkills Park is springing up from the debris. Another heartwarming tale of trash to treasure.
