New York Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to continue dumping garbage in the scenic Finger Lakes region isn’t winning him friends in upstate wine country.
A proposed 20-year, $3.3 billion contract to send trash 300 miles from two Brooklyn sites to the bucolic town of Seneca Falls would extend the city’s use of landfills. The mayor has said he wants all trash recycled by 2030. The new plan would also increase the load the Finger Lakes dump has been accepting up to now.
