City OKs Plan to Divert Sunshine Canyon Trash
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
City garbage trucks would travel 1 million more miles each year under a plan approved Friday by the City Council.
The city would divert some trash from Sunshine Canyon Landfill above Granada Hills to dumps in Riverside County and in Avenal, 200 miles north.
The council has renewed a contract to take all the city’s trash to Sunshine Canyon but has until next week to rescind that deal. If implemented, the policy approved Friday would cost the city an additional $11.1 million over the next five years.
