City to Shift 20% of Its Trash to Inland Empire
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
About 20% of the city’s trash will be diverted from the Sunshine Canyon Landfill in Granada Hills to the El Sobrante Landfill in Riverside County near Corona, the Public Works Board decided Friday.
In an effort to reduce the dumping of trash near Los Angeles residential neighborhoods, the board approved a five-year contract with Waste Management to take 600 tons of the city’s nearly 3,000 tons of trash generated each day to El Sobrante.
The city will pay Waste Management $4.3 million annually.
