A tip in the north of the island will remain open beyond its original closing date because the government has failed to make progress on its planned new site.
The government wants to create a fully engineered new site for construction waste at Turkeyland in Malew - and it had hoped to also use that site as an interim facility - but no detailed plans have been submitted.
