Geocache Description:


Literally you are down in the dumps in this location.  Just north of the cache site are 3 former landfills. Edison Township operated their own landfill in this area until it was closed about 20 years ago.  Another closed landfill site owned by Industrial Land Reclaiming (ILR) provides power to Middlesex County's wastewater treatment operations from methane gas recovery.  The last closed landfill is the Kin-Buc landfill which was one of New Jersey’s largest Superfund sites.  Across the river in East Brunswick is the still active Edgeboro landfill. 

 

When I first saw that the path was being constructed I originally thought of placing a series of caches here but was disappointed to find that the path only was about a quarter of a mile long. Hopefully in the future this path will be extended for a walk up around the bend (and opportunities for more caches).  Please do not disturb any of the recently placed bird houses nor is there any reason to go into any fenced off shrubery.  As with all Edison Township parks please observe the hours of operation (dawn to dusk).  Any logs with references to a find after hours will be deleted by the CO.

 

Cache is an ammo can originally filled with some swag, a few TB's and a couple of geocoins.  There is a WG$ for the FTF.

 

FTF congratulations to avgraphics
