Officially known as Saint Michael's Landfill, or The Levittown Dump, most Levittowners referred to it as "Saint Mike's Dump" or simply "The Dump".

Ask any student who attended St. Michael the Archangel School from 1960 to 1975, and they'll almost gleefully describe for you what sort of "heavenly" aromas wafted from that dump (and into their classrooms) during the warmer months.
