Preferred term

Kenilworth Dump  

Definition

  • From the time it opened in 1942, Kenilworth Dump (KD) served as the waste management center for residential and commercial waste generated within the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. In 1968, following an incident that resulted in the death of a young boy, KD was effectively shut down, and in the early 1970s, it became a recreational area and continues as such into the 21st century.
