NY Landfill Expansion Approved Amid Concerns
3 Oct
Summary
- Casella's Hakes C&D Landfill expansion adds 43.3 acres and 5.8 million cubic yards capacity.
- Permit extends landfill lifespan by approximately 20 years at current operational rates.
- Expansion supports regional economic growth and critical solid waste infrastructure.
Casella Waste Systems secured a crucial permit for its Hakes C&D Landfill in Campbell, New York, on September 22. This approval allows for an expansion of approximately 43.3 acres, adding about 5.8 million cubic yards of disposal capacity.
The expansion is projected to provide an additional 20 years of operational life at current rates. This development is seen as vital for New York's solid waste infrastructure, supporting regional economic growth.
Casella is also seeking a permit for its Hyland Landfill, with expectations for approval in early 2027. This expansion aims to counteract capacity constraints from other landfill closures, such as the Ontario County Landfill expected by late 2028.
