Waste Management - NuWay Landfill

13620 Live Oak Ln, Irwindale, CA 91706

(866) 909-4458

Smallish but active landfill off Live Oak Lane that handles both household drop-offs and commercial deliveries. Lots of trucks come through most days, so it’s a working site rather than a tidy transfer station. The place is used by homeowners doing big cleanouts and by local haulers bringing in commercial loads.

There’s a weigh scale and an intake booth where vehicles are checked and weighed - charges are based on weight, so expect to stop on both the way in and the way out. The site is big, with exposed dirt and working faces of compacted trash; drive slowly and follow the traffic flow. Materials often need to be separated ahead of time in California, so have recyclables and green waste sorted if possible. Lines can form on weekends and during spring cleanup, and larger commercial trucks are a common sight.

Before You Go

  • Load tarps or secure loose debris before coming; wind and dust are noticeable on windy days.
  • Sort recyclables and organics at the pickup spot so unloading goes faster and avoids re-sorting on site.
  • Bring paperwork for commercial loads and plan for possible waits - bigger trucks mean the site moves at a steady, but not rapid, pace.
