Massive Garbage Dump Discovered In Sugar Hill State Forest

Massive Garbage Dump Discovered In Sugar Hill State Forest

Who is responsible for the mountain of garbage dumped on New York State land? New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) discovered the trash pictured below and, following an investigation, seem to have identified the culprits.

We aren't talking about one banana peel, can of beer, or cigarette butt, as gross as that would be too. We are talking 16,000 pounds of trash just dumped on a roadway in a State forest. That is bigger than an adult elephant, I think! As wrong as this was, there might be a logical explanation for what happened.

Clifton Park 1893

Sitterly Road, while mostly used for Clifton Park Center and bypassing the busy Clifton Park Boulevard, actually has a very long history as seen on this 1893 topographic map.
