Vancouver Landfill to Operate 20 Years Longer

The Vancouver Landfill in Delta, British Columbia, initially scheduled for closure in 2030, will now remain operational for an additional 20 years due to increased capacity resulting from ground settling, as confirmed by Paul Henderson from Metro Vancouver’s Solid Waste Services. This extension is anticipated to save residents and businesses an estimated $300 million in potential future fees. While the destination of the region’s waste beyond 2050 remains uncertain, Henderson suggests that it may involve transporting trash to the British Columbia Interior or the United States.
