A long time ago, I came across this example sentence in Jisho:

> 彼{かれ}の仕事{しごと}は井戸掘{いどほ}りからゴミの処理{しょり}に **まで** 及ぶ{およぶ}。  
>  His tasks range from digging wells to getting rid of garbage.

Why does this sentence use _both_ に and まで after 処理? Would it be sufficient to
have just one or the other, or are both required?

question
usage particle-に particle-まで
Meaning of にまで?
井戸掘りからゴミの処理に及ぶ would sound natural, and already emphasizes how broad his
responsibilities are.

Slightly literal translation:

> 井戸掘りからゴミの処理に及ぶ  
>  his responsibilities reaches from digging wells to getting rid of garbage

Adding まで strengthens this emphasis

> 井戸掘りからゴミの処理にまで及ぶ  
>  his responsibilities reaches from digging wells, to **even** getting rid of
> garbage

The same まで can be used like this: カリカリに揚げれば、骨まで食べられますよ

`彼の仕事は、井戸掘りからゴミの処理まで及ぶ` sounds a bit odd to me but I'm not sure if it's only
me.
