Fire-Related Phase 2 Debris to Sunshine Canyon Landfill

Posted on by
Slide1

Slide1

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors on February 25, 2025, approved increasing the landfill’s tonnage by 20% from 12,100 tons per day to 15,000 tons per day or 2,900 tons per day of dedicated fire-related waste for 120 days.  This could potentially result in 384,000 tons of fire-related Phase 2 debris and 69,600 trip-ends of 10-ton trucks carrying burrito wrapped debris from the Eaton Fire and Pacific Palisades Fire which is then dumped out at the landfill, broken open and exposed to the air, watered down, graded and compacted, before being covered either with 12″ of dirt or Enviro Cover ADC at the end of the day.

Granada Hills Residents Protest Fire Debris Disposal at Sunshine Canyon Landfill

Posted on by
LDN-L-LANDFILL-PROTE-16×9-1

Officials Assure Public that No Hazardous Waste Will Be Accepted

Granada Hills residents gathered on Tuesday, Feb. 18, to protest fire debris from the Palisades and Eaton wildfires being transported to Sunshine Canyon Landfill. The demonstration took place near Van Gogh Elementary School, where community members voiced concerns about potential environmental and health risks.

Proposed Fire Debris Storage at Sunshine Canyon Landfill

Sunshine Canyon Landfill is one of seven sites proposed to store debris from the Palisades and Eaton fires, which caused significant damage in Los Angeles in January. To accommodate this debris, Republic Services, the landfill’s operator, is requesting a waiver from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. This waiver would temporarily increase the landfill’s daily tonnage limit from 12,100 to 15,000 tons and extend operating hours by one hour on weekdays and two hours on Saturdays (source).

Odor Complaints and Community Concerns

Residents have long voiced concerns about the landfill’s impact on air quality. The South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) received 118 odor complaints about Sunshine Canyon in January alone (source). Since 2016, the landfill has faced orders to reduce foul odors, but complaints persist (source).

At a recent community meeting, approximately 100 residents opposed the debris storage plan (source). A change.org petition with 1,000 signatures is also demanding the debris be relocated elsewhere.

Republic Services’ Response

Sunshine Canyon Landfill is classified as a Class III municipal solid waste landfill, meaning it does not accept household hazardous waste (source). A Republic Services representative defended the landfill’s ability to handle fire waste, stating:

“Sunshine Canyon is a strong community partner and a responsible option for this non-hazardous waste. The landfill has a state-of-the-art liner system, cover system and robust gas collection system to help ensure the material is managed safely and responsibly.”

Before debris is transported to Sunshine Canyon, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) removes all household hazardous materials during “Phase 1” cleanup. The remaining debris is managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in “Phase 2.”

Protesters Demand Alternative Disposal Sites

Despite these assurances, some residents remain unconvinced. Protester Helen Attai, 67, expressed her frustration:

“We want to prove that this is safe, everyone is telling us that this isn’t going to be tested. They don’t know if this is safe. Why don’t you put it in the desert where nobody lives? It’s not fair to us, to the Calabasas people, to Burbank people.”

Meg Volk, 71, criticized the landfill’s history of odor complaints and questioned its ability to handle additional waste:

“This landfill has had 2,187 complaints of odor in 2024 and 65 complaints of violation from SCAQMD. They’re incapable of controlling their on-site odors now with 12,000 tons and they think with more they can do better? We don’t trust them, they are part of the problem.”

Concerns Over Air and Water Quality

Many residents fear potential contamination of the nearby Los Angeles Aqueduct Cascades. Emil Steven Mitev, a 17-year-old former Van Gogh Elementary student, recalled experiencing landfill odors as a child:

“It’s in close proximity to many neighborhoods, there’s schools with kids with growing lungs, additionally there’s a vital reservoir with water near the landfill. If the water reservoir is affected, it affects not only our San Fernando Valley, but the entire county of Los Angeles.”

Calls for Government Action

Local leaders are also responding to residents’ concerns. The L.A. County Board of Supervisors will discuss the landfill issue at their Feb. 25 meeting. Supervisors Lindsey Horvath and Kathryn Barger have requested an audit of Sunshine Canyon Landfill following increased odor complaints (source).

At a Feb. 19 press conference, Supervisor Horvath addressed the landfill debris plan:

“As we know, there’s been a lot of frustration in the community and I think that’s resulted from our inability to provide basic answers to residents’ questions on what the plan details are.”

Horvath clarified that while the county cannot regulate landfill licensing, it does control operating hours and daily tonnage limits. The Feb. 25 meeting will provide an opportunity for further discussion with the community before any final decisions are made.

What’s Next?

With residents determined to oppose the plan, the upcoming Board of Supervisors meeting will be a critical moment in the debate over where wildfire debris should be stored. Community members continue to push for alternatives that ensure public health and environmental safety.
