Have you ever found yourself gagging as you cross Flushing Avenue and head northwest into East Williamsburg on a hot summer day? You’re not alone, and you’re not imagining it. Currently, North Brooklyn is home to a disproportionate amount of the city’s trash. But the neighborhood’s stinky problem may be getting a little better next year as the city finally plans to store mountains of the city’s waste in Gowanus instead.

East Williamsburg’s Trash Smell May Improve Slightly Next Year
The hot garbage odor is a result of a disproportionate amount of waste being stored in North Brooklyn, but there is a solution on the horizon.
