Chiquita Canyon Landfill is estimated to close in 2019. In 1997, the owners and operators of Chiquita Canyon Landfill entered into an agreement with our neighbors, the Val Verde Civic Association. Among the many provisions of the contract is a requirement that the landfill cease operations after reaching its total capacity of 23 million tons. If Waste Connections' is unwilling to make concessions and compromise with Los Angeles County, then we encourage the Board of Supervisors to let the landfill close. As it's the objective of the county to reach zero waste, then alternative solutions to the county's waste problems can be met without using Chiquita Canyon Landfill.
