Waste Management - Kirby Canyon Landfill

Kirby Canyon Landfill is the big, working landfill off Coyote Creek Golf Drive that locals use when a pickup load won't fit in the curbside bins. Trucks, haulers and residents with larger cleanups all bring material here. It’s the final place for burying non-recycled trash, so expect a large, industrial feel rather than anything tidy.

Drive up to an entrance booth and cross a scale - landfills like this use a scale-based tipping fee system, so the weight determines charges and there’s usually a weigh-in and weigh-out. After weighing, drivers proceed to the active tipping area to unload; heavy equipment and compacted trash piles are what the site mostly looks like. The facility accepts commercial loads, which are typically billed differently from residential drops. Lines can build up on weekends and during seasonal cleanups, so plan for possible waiting.
