EN22 Solid Waste to Landfill
| Tonnes | F2005 | F2006 | F2007 | F2008 | F2009 |
Estimated | 1,328 | 1,355 | 1,509 | 2,287 | 3,081 |
Amounts shown are estimated and do not include materials that may have been disposed by individual facilities without notifying the Materials Management Business Unit. The increase in solid waste to landfill is largely due to the disposal of wood waste from B.C. Wood Recycling. The majority of this was from the disposal of pine poles that have no value if milled. Other materials that contributed to this increase were contaminated media (soil, gravel and sandblast material) and regular garbage.
