Azusa Landfill

Azusa Landfill sits on the west side of town and is where most non-recyclable household and commercial trash ends up. Neighborhood residents doing big cleanouts and contractors hauling loads both use this place regularly. The site feels large - it's the kind of facility where trucks and pickups share the same entrance.

There’s usually a scale at the entrance so vehicles are weighed and charged by weight, meaning there’s a stop coming and going. An entry booth or gate control is common at facilities like this, with traffic lanes for larger trucks and a separate pull-in for smaller vehicles. The tipping area is a wide, open pad where attendants direct drivers where to dump, and the landfill itself rises up like a man-made hill in the distance. Weekends and spring cleanup times tend to be busier, so expect some waiting if it’s a Saturday morning.
