About Fresno Municipal Sanitary Landfill
Fresno Municipal Sanitary Landfill, opened in 1935 in Fresno, California, was the first modern landfill in the U. S. , pioneering the use of trenching, compacting, and daily burial to combat rodent and debris problems. It became a model for other landfills around the country, and one of the longest-lived.
