Regions studying capacity increase at Durham York Energy Centre

Posted on Thursday, November 21, 2019 07:30 AM

Durham Region is committed to managing our waste responsibly as we continue to grow faster than just about any place in Ontario. The Regional Municipalities of Durham and York have begun an Environmental Screening Process to increase the amount of waste processed each year at the Durham York Energy Centre (DYEC) by 20,000 tonnes.

The DYEC, located in Courtice, is Durham Region’s primary long-term disposal option for waste and only processes the household waste remaining after Durham and York...

Last year, a tunnel boring machine was used at Baseline Road and Courtice Road in the Municipality of Clarington to dig an 817 metre long tunnel for sanitary sewer services to planned development areas. The project was completed in partnership with Ward & Burke Construction Ltd.

This type of trenchless technology involves underground construction work that requires fewer trenches or no continuous trenches and is being used by the Region to install utilities such as water and sanitary sewer pipes....

Recycling garbage from the past: Blackstock landfill mining project

Posted on Friday, September 27, 2019 05:30 AM

Landfill mining is an opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and leachate impacts on groundwater quality, divert material not previously separated for recycling, recover energy from reclaimed waste, and eliminate the need for long-term groundwater monitoring.

Durham began landfill mining activity in October 2018 at the closed Blackstock landfill site in the Township of Scugog. 

Waste was excavated and placed into a rotating trommel screen to mechanically separate waste from soil. Landfilled...
