Caja del Rio Cell 6B

The Caja Del Rio Landfill continues to fill its latest solid waste disposal cell, Cell 6B. More Info

Facility Cell Progression

Disposal activities commenced in Cell 6B in March 2020. It is anticipated that Cell 6B will last approximately 5-7 years before the Agency builds out the vertical expansion approved in the 2015 New Mexico Environment Department Solid Waste Bureau operations permit. The total life of the vertical expansion is approximately 10 years. Cells 7 & 8 are currently being excavated to design based grades for cover soil used by the disposal operation.
