old bethpage landfill

ROUND SWAMP RD

The 68-acre Old Bethpage Landfill is an inactive municipal landfill that is part of a sanitary landfill complex that was active until 1986. The Town of Oyster Bay began operations at the Old Bethpage Landfill in 1957, primarily for disposing incinerator residue. In 1967, the Town began accepting garbage and trash and allowed home owners to dump trash. From 1968 through 1978, liquid and solid industrial process wastes and damaged drums containing organic residues were disposed of at the landfill. After 1978, metal hydroxide sludges were the only industrial waste disposed of at the landfill. A methane gas collection system was installed to prevent further off-site migration of landfill gas. There are approximately 10,000 people living within 1 mile of the site. The site is located above the Magothy Aquifer, which supplies many public wells.
