Only the Dead Know Fresh Kills
Find the thoughts of veteran journalist Patrick Fenton.
High up on a hallowed hill in a garbage dump were the ashes of the men and women and children left behind when they shut down the massive sifting operation that ran around the clock seven days a week for nearly a year
Now they were all buried together in what has become the only cemetery in the world that is located in the middle of a garbage dump
Huge dump trucks with Peterbilt and Mack welded to their side roar by every few minutes as they wait
Somehow the two vehicles get sandwiched in between two dump trucks
The Hornings perseverance to have the ashes of the victims of September 11 moved out of this garbage dump and to a proper burial site has not gone unrecognized
The law stated that the ashen remains of those who died in the September 11 attacks be removed from Fresh Kills and 'integrated into a memorial at the World trade Center.' But without a sister law signed by the State of New York the ashes will remain forever as part of the landfill of the Fresh Kills garbage dump
'From the beginning we have always said, the war was started, but why would you fight a war for something that would be left in the garbage?' Ironically, they had just come down from a spot where once, on a summers day on June 15, 2002, when they closed down the sifting operation, Mayor Bloomberg came to the Fresh Kills garbage dump and said : 'I will make a commitment to all of you here we will not forget the 2, 800 people who died in the same way people have been dying for 226 years to make this the greatest country in the world so we can be free.' They sang the National Anthem after that and then all the politicians went home

Energy & Waste - Landfilling YESTERDAY AND TODAY For hundreds of years, people have used garbage dumps to get rid of their trash
Yesterdays garbage dump was nothing more than a pit or field just outside of town where people left their garbage
People tossed all sorts of waste into these dumps
The dumps were breeding grounds for disease-carrying pests such as flies, mosquitoes, and rats
Rainwater flushed filthy, and sometimes poisonous, liquids from the dump into nearby streams and groundwater supplies that people used for drinking, bathing, and clothes washing
Later, some towns spread dirt to contain the dumped waste and to discourage vermin
This helped, but it was little more than a cover-up for unsanitary dumping
Today, we still bury our garbage, although not in the open dumps of yesterday
Now that open dumping is illegal, deciding where to put a landfill requires careful planning
A MODERN LANDFILL Todays landfills are very different from the open dumps of the past
