Composting stench a foul reminder of Staten Island’s dark landfill history | Opinion |
Foul odors in Travis?
You don’t say.
We thought we were done with rancid stenches coming from the old Fresh Kills landfill property.
But I guess not.
A composting facility located on the grounds of the old dump has been stinking up the West Shore for the last year or so.
That’s right: we closed the landfill decades ago, but a once-beleaguered corner of Staten Island is again suffering from the stench of garbage.
After complaints were raised, the state Department of Environmental Conservation has identified the composting facility as the culprit.
