BERLIN — With five or six years of capacity left, the Androscoggin Valley Regional Refuse Disposal District is seeking permission to expand its existing Mt. Carberry landfill. The 24-acre expansion would allow an added 5 million cubic yards of waste or an estimated 16 years of additional capacity.

The NH Department of Environmental Services held a public hearing at Berlin city hall Thursday on the district’s request and is accepting public comments through Jan. 7. The footprint for the expansion was included in the original permit for the landfill but DES requested the district file a permit modification for the expansion because of solid waste regulation changes that have taken place since 1988-89.
