Toland Road Sanitary Landfill

Toland Road Sanitary Landfill is the large burying site just outside Santa Paula where local trash ends up when it can’t be recycled. Residents and commercial drivers both use the place; it’s a working landfill rather than a drop-off recycling center. In California, separating organics from trash is common, so expect rules about green waste to matter.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale-landfills normally charge by weight, so plan for a weigh-in and a weigh-out. The property looks industrial: big dirt mounds, heavy equipment and roll-off trucks are common sights. Pull up to the entrance, get weighed, move to the unloading spot, then return to the scale to have tipping fees calculated. Weekends and spring cleanup bring the longest lines, when pickups and trailers can end up waiting behind commercial haulers.
