What are the biggest man-made objects in the world? Could it be the Pyramid's? Or one of the tall buildings in Asia? No Sir! Believe it or not, one of the biggest man-made objects in the world is an American garbage dump. It was named Fresh Kill, and was 225 feet high and covered 22.000 acres. It received 29.000 ton of garbage per day from New York. Then there are famous dumps in China, where people lives by scavenging parts from all kinds of electronic waste. However when it comes to size, Fresh Kills is the leader, the big one. It collected garbage for fifty years, it is today sealed up. The city of New York plans to turn it into a park.
