How does one find out where old landfills are? I was told that there is one near the middle school in Winetka, is this true ? If so, where is it?

There is one on the north side of Willow Rd west of Rt 43. There was definitely one on the south side of Willow Rd not far west of Hibbard. There was also a heliport there about 50 years back. There are some mounds near Crow Island School, I think coal waste. I have heard that much of the West side of Winnetka was swamp and filled in with dirt from lowering the railroad tracks in the 1940's. That last one I am not sure of. Also, off old Skokie Rd near Tower is the old Glencoe incinerator site.

Also one in Evanston south of Oakton between McCormick & Dodge. Was great for sledding as a kid. We called it Mt. trashmore.
