Effective January 1, 2025, Chiquita Canyon Landfill will be closed for the acceptance of waste. 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, we remain committed to working with federal, state and local regulators on the ongoing reaction mitigation efforts.

Our Community

Good Neighbor

Chiquita Canyon has been committed to being a good neighbor to the residents of Val Verde, Castaic and the greater Santa Clarita Valley for nearly 50 years. As such, Chiquita Canyon takes great care and pride in its business operations to reduce potential impacts.

All employees at Chiquita Canyon are trained to handle incoming waste in the most environmentally responsible manner. Access to the site is limited to one entrance. At the end of each working day, the waste is covered to minimize odors. The landfill also has aggressive programs to control dust and litter.

In addition, as a long-time member of the California Adopt-A-Highway Program, we regularly clean up litter along a four-mile stretch of Highway 126 near the landfill. As a community service to Val Verde, we also pick up litter along Chiquito Canyon Road.
