Calabasas Sanitary Landfill on Lost Hills Road is the big landfill that Agoura Hills and nearby towns use for trash that can't be recycled or composted. Both residents with pickup loads and commercial trucks show up here, so traffic ranges from small vehicles to large roll‑offs. Expect a large, working site with heavy equipment and visible fill slopes where material is buried.
Pull up to an entrance booth and then onto a scale; tipping fees are charged by weight, so vehicles are typically weighed in and out. After the scale, posted signs and traffic cones guide drivers to the active dumping area where loads are tipped into the pit and compactors do the rest. The yard can be dusty or muddy depending on weather, and there’s constant movement of dump trucks and machinery. Weekends and spring-cleanup season often get backed up, so allow extra time.
