Landfill
Victorville Sanitary Landfill
Victorville Sanitary Landfill, 18600 Stoddard Wells Road, Victorville, 92392, California
Victorville Sanitary Landfill on Stoddard Wells Road is where larger loads from residents, landscapers and haulers end up when curbside pickup won’t do. Expect a big, working site where trash is buried and compacted, used by both public drop-offs and commercial vehicles.
Drive up to an entrance booth and then across a scale-landfills in the area charge by weight, so stopping to weigh in and out is normal. The tipping area is wide, dusty and dominated by heavy equipment and compacted piles; bring something to cover your load because wind kicks up. Lines build on weekends and during spring cleanup, so wait times can stretch. Look for separate areas near the front for things like recycling or bulky-item drop-offs, while heavier truck traffic moves toward the active face.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Sort organics from trash before getting to the gate-California facilities increasingly require organics separated from regular garbage.
- Secure and cover loads tightly; loose material and wind are common on Stoddard Wells Road and around the tipping areas.
- Try for a midweek morning visit to avoid weekend backups, and be prepared to stop at the scale both when you enter and when you leave.
