Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island was slated to be a temporary place to put garbage from metropolitan areas New York City. O
fficials expected municipal incinerators to take over as the state-of-the-art waste disposal method for New York's large and growing population. The landfill was originally intended to be used for
five years, but officials continued to use it when other solutions didn't work as planned. Which statement best describes why continuing to use Fresh Kills Landfill was
not an adequate waste management strategy?
O Landfills cause more pollution than other waste disposal methods
Transporting waste from New York City to Staten Island is too expensive
O The landfill cannot store trash from a growing population for very long.
The expected incinerators will cost less than maintaining the landfill.
The continued of Fresh kill landfill is not an adequate waste management strategy because, landfills cannot accommodate wate from a growing population for very long.
Adequate waste disposal strategy is often more concerned with limiting the health risk posed by inadequate disposal of refuse and waste. landfill are a portion of land which is assigned for refuse disposal such that it becomes inefficient as population builds up. Continous usage of landfill will also result in further pollution of the environment.
The cost of transportation and maintainance of incinerators are aligned to the economic consideration associated with the Fresh kill landfill.
Hence, the continued usage of the Fresh kill landfill shows inadequate waste management strategy as it cannot store trash from a growing population for too long.
