That's the bit they didn't say to me. It's an interesting observation. 
That implies the land fill site is taking in around 100,000m3 of waste a 
year. Do we have any independent way of checking that figure?

... not that it makes any real difference mind you: the way we're going 
is that land fill rates are surely going to reduce (through a 
combination of market pressures brought on by land fill tax, transport 
costs and the increase in re-cycling) so even without them making the 
hole bigger the chances of needing yet another extension after 2020 must 
be pretty likely.
