Loma Linda Landfill in Clifton is the kind of place people bring household junk, construction debris, and commercial loads when other options are full or too far away. Trucks and pickups use it regularly; expect to see a steady trickle of local contractors and residents dropping off material. The site handles final burial of waste as a standard landfill.
There’s a scale you’ll drive over so vehicles are weighed - tipping fees are charged by weight, with smaller residential minimums common at sites like this. Pull up to an entry booth or gate area to check in, then follow the access road to the working face where drivers unload. The ground is mostly compacted dirt and gravel, with heavy equipment and piles of buried material visible nearby. Lines can form on weekends or during seasonal cleanups, so arrivals can require a short wait.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Have your load covered and secured for the trip; loose debris tends to blow off on the access road and around the site.
- Approach the scale slowly and be ready to stop both going in and coming out - weight is recorded both ways.
- If hauling bulky or heavy loads, give yourself extra time for lining up and getting through the gate, especially on busy mornings and weekends.
