Small-city name with a big pile - Calabasas Landfill in Agoura Hills is the local burial site for trash and is used by homeowners doing cleanouts and by trucks dropping off big commercial loads. This is the final stop where material gets buried, so expect a working, no-frills operation rather than a recycling center.
Drive up Lost Hills Road and you’ll see the entrance booth and a weigh scale; landfills typically weigh vehicles and charge tipping fees by weight, so plan on a weigh-in and weigh-out. Pull forward to the attendant booth, then follow signs and staff directions to the drop-off area; the site is mostly open dirt and compacted slopes with large belly-dump and roll-off trucks coming and going. California rules mean recyclables and organics are often separated and charged differently, and this facility handles large commercial trucks in addition to residential cars and pickups.
Facility Information
Before You Go

- Secure tarps and loose material before driving in; spilled loads slow everyone down and can get you turned away.
- Sort bulky recyclables and green waste before you go - many facilities in California require separation and fees can differ by material.
