Waste Management’s Construction and Demolition Recycling Facility at the Simi Valley Landfill recently celebrated its one-year anniversary. Since it opened, the facility has recycled over 40,317 tons of materials.
The facility accepts wood, concrete, dirt, drywall, metal, cardboard, plastic, roofing materials, carpet, appliances and tile. These materials are sorted onsite and transported to regional facilities to find a "second life" as new products.
Recycling C&D materials helps Simi Valley and Ventura County meet tough state laws that require every city and county in California to divert at least 50 percent of its waste from landfills. It also helps meet requirements in unincorporated parts of Ventura County that mandate commercial and demolition projects to divert at least 60 percent of their waste.
The C&D facility is located at the Simi Valley Landfill and Recycling Center at 2801 Madera Road, just north of the 118 Freeway. Co-mingled C&D waste from both the public as well as private contractors is accepted.
