Hiriya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 |
Hiriya (Hebrew: חירייה) is a former waste dump located outside Tel-Aviv in Israel. Hiriya is a prominent feature on the aerial approach into Ben Gurion International Airport. Hiriya takes its name from an Arab village Al-Khayriyya that once existed at the same location until 1948, south of Ramat Gan. It is also located on the site of the ancient Jewish town of Bnei Brak which dates back to Roman times.
Hiriya is currently the location of the largest waste transfer station in the Middle East. This facility is operated by the local municipality, the Dan Association of Towns. Hiriya also includes and Israeli-designed mechanical biological treatment process.
There are plans to remediate the site and use the mountain and surrounding land with the waste hill the centrepiece of the Ayalon Park [1], next to the nearby Ramat Gan Park.
