From the NY Post:Manhattan residents can breathe easier -- but not those in other boroughs.
Budget cuts mean the city will be delaying construction of three sanitation transfer stations in Manhattan, prompting politicians from the outer boroughs -- where much of the city's trash is handled -- to cry foul yesterday.
Jason Post, a spokesman for Mayor Bloomberg, blamed the five-year delays for construction at stations on East 91st Street, West 59th Street and the Gansevoort Terminal on the West Side of Manhattan on the budget. The administration also is delaying the Southwest Brooklyn Marine Transfer Station.

I have a great idea. Let's build a garbage transfer station right near the end of a runway of one of the nation's busiest airports. It's not as if it will attract any birds. And if it does, what's the big deal? Birds can't bring down jet aircraft, can they?

F O W L !
At least you can get some of the pols to pose in front of a transfer station telling everyone how much they oppose it - then bring in 100,000s making it all be necessary -
Don't worry, watch a broadway play!
We've already got enough political trash littering many Queens neighborhoods.
Maybe we should consider disposing our refuse at our community board headquarters if we don't get adequate DOS service.
Where else might us taxpayers turn?
Certainly not to our mayor.
Make that your mayor.
I certainly didn't vote for him!
Let's turn the clock back to the great Gatsby era and dump all our shit at the great Corona Ash Dump...now called Flushing Meadows Corona Park!

We could fill "Shitty Field with rotten vegetables and "Theater In The Dark" with our smelly metal and paper recycling stuff.
That leaves two tennis stadiums to fill up with pampers, chicken 'n fish heads and various other Chinese restaurant garbage.
"Visit Flushing..a world of poop".
Wadda ya think Terri Osborne?
What? A garbage transfer station in College Point? Now we don't have to eat the scraps at the North Flushing Senior Center!
Just curious. Is this transfer station named after Ed Koch?
