Cache Creek landfill
The Cache Creek landfill is a landfill in British Columbia, Canada. In 1989, Cache Creek became a landfill site for garbage shipped by truck from BC's Lower Mainland. It is permitted to receive up to 500,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste annually.
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).[1]
