Los Angeles County supervisors have voted to issue up to $40 million in revenue bonds in order to expand and improve the 505-acre Calabasas Landfill. The county said the improvements are necessary to meet groundwater protection regulations and prepare undeveloped areas for disposal. The landfill has been open since 1961 near Calabasas and serves local cities and unincorporated areas of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. The landfill now can accept 3,500 tons of waste per day, and has an estimated capacity of 9.7 million tons, or 15 to 25 years of capacity.
