Effective January 1, 2025, Chiquita Canyon Landfill closed for the acceptance of waste.
The 639 acre landfill services the Santa Clarita Valley and surrounding communities in Los Angeles County and faces a county lawsuit, that alleges noxious gases released from the site are affecting neighborhoods in the area.
Chiquita Canyon, LLC will continue to manage the landfill, including addressing the elevated temperature landfill event that is affecting the northwest corner of the landfill, as well as closure and post-closure activities.
While active waste disposal operations will close, management remains committed to working with federal, state and local regulators on the ongoing reaction mitigation efforts.
