Trailblazing: Israel's Eco-garbage Park



Israel Turns 2,000-Acre Trash Dump into a Park -Brian Merchant

Hiriya, Tel Aviv's 2,000-acre garbage dump, was an ecological and aesthetic blight, a massive 230-foot mound of waste at its center.

But after an intensive national revitalization effort, the eyesore has reemerged as Ayalon Park [photos above], an eco-tourism attraction and one of the largest metropolitan parks in the world. At its base is a Recycling Center that uses the most innovative technologies.
