The Company
The Lachute Landfill Site
Situated just north of Montreal, within the Town of Lachute’s municipal boundaries, the landfill site is owned by the RIADM - Régie intermunicipale Argenteuil-Deux-Montagnes (Argenteuil-Deux-Montagnes Intermunicipal Board) and is operated by a private company that specializes in waste management. The landfill receives refuse from the Outaouais Region as well as the northern outskirts of Montreal.
Enormous potential for Lidya
The landfill area is 57 hectares (570,000 square metres or 6,200,000 square feet). In 2003, the RIADM was authorized to expand the site and accept up to 667,000 cubic metres of waste annually for a period of 19 years. This represents a total of 12.4 million cubic metres of waste, over and above the 2.9 million tonnes of refuse that was already accumulated at the site in 2003.
