Burbank Landfill Site No. 3

Burbank Landfill Site No. 3, 2500 N. Bel Aire Drive, Burbank, 91504, California

Burbank Landfill Site No. 3 on N. Bel Aire Drive is the city landfill used by residents and commercial haulers when recycling or curbside pickup won't take something. It’s a big, active site with heavy equipment moving and plenty of room for trucks and pickups. Expect a practical, no-frills place rather than anything tidy or landscaped.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale where loads are weighed-landfills charge tipping fees by weight, so stopping on the outbound scale is normal. After check-in, pull up to the tipping area where crews and heavy equipment work the piles; surfaces are mostly gravel and can be dusty. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, and commercial loads are handled there alongside residential vehicles. Bring everything staged and ready to unload so the process goes faster.

Before You Go

  • Sort out recyclables and organics before driving in - California requires diversion in many places, and separating materials speeds things up.
  • Cover and secure loads for the drive in; loose debris or material that blows off can result in extra cleanup and delays.
  • Plan for the scale and tipping fees by weight and allow extra time if hauling a commercial load-weekends get backed up, so earlier weekday trips move quicker.
