Sadly, it also put Long Island in the spot- light as the original home of the destinationless Gar- bage Barge . Searching for a place to dump its cargo fwhich was rumored to be toxicj, the bargetwas banned by six states and three foreign countries be- fore it found a New York City incinerator to reduce its load to ash.
