Antelope Valley Recycling & Disposal Facility

The Antelope Valley Recycling & Disposal Facility is located in the City of Palmdale, California and currently encompasses a little under 200 acres of land. On site are two fully permitted landfills that include the currently active 57-acre active disposal area and a 54-acre disposal area that was approved in 1992. The remaining property contains ancillary buildings and operations that support the landfill and recycling activities.

Waste Management's Antelope Valley Recycling & Disposal Facility employs the latest advances in landfill technology. From selecting our landfill location to capping landfills that have been filled to capacity, every effort is made to ensure our operational integrity as well as the safety of the surrounding ecosystems.

As part of one of the largest network of landfills in the industry, Waste Management’s Antelope Valley Recycling & Disposal Facility utilizes state-of-the-art liners, leachate collection, ground water monitoring and gas control systems, along with highly effective operational procedures, to ensure a pristine environment.

Designed and operated under highly-regulated and prescribed procedures, our landfill is engineered to protect surface and ground water through the highest environmental control. We carefully maintain our site to ensure we meet or exceed all federal, state and local regulations.
