Fresh Kills Landfill, opened in 1948,became one of the largest refuse heaps in human history. The site is 12 square km (4.6 square miles) in area. It could be regarded as being the largest man-made structure on Earth, with the site's volume eventually exceeding the Great Wall of China. In fact in 2001 its peak was 25 meters taller than the Statue of Liberty. Under local pressure and with support of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the landfill site was closed on March 22, 2001. However, after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, the landfill was temporarily reopened in order to receive and process much of the debris from the destruction

There are one or two contenders for the record. A recent addition to this is "The World". A series of man-made islands in the progress if being built now in Dubai. However the answer depends on your defintion of "man-made structure" with the emphasis on "structure". A landfill site is not a structure. Neither is a series of islands. The Great wall of China is a big construction but it is not one structure (or ever was when made) but lots of little pieces. But believe it or not a possible contender is actually "Hadrian's Wall" in the UK. It still is ( as far as I know) the biggest single man-made structure in the world. It may seem strange but check it out.

Actually the Benin city moat, in Benin Nigeria is larger than Hadrians wall, the Benin city moat was considered that largest man made structure in the world until the great wall of china.
