Extension approved
On January 6, 2010, the Ministry of Environment of B.C. had approved the 42-hectare extension of the existing Cache Creek Landfill, providing an additional 12.6 million tonnes of disposal capacity. This project is expected to have a lifespan of 25 years or more, depending on increasing rates of material recovery (through composting and recycling).
