The Chiquita Canyon Landfill in Castaic will cease solid waste operations on Wednesday after generating thousands of odor complaints and facing lawsuits from residents and Los Angeles County. The closure comes as the operators work to control noxious odors caused by an underground chemical reaction. Los Angeles County Supervisors are closely monitoring the closure and plan to assess its impacts on the community. The closure will not stop existing odor issues, and the county is pursuing legal action to provide relief to affected residents. Residents have reported health issues due to the noxious odors, and lawsuits have been filed alleging improper management of the landfill. The operators of the landfill stated that ongoing operations are no longer economically viable in the current regulatory environment. The county is working to ensure no disruption in trash collection services for residents and is prioritizing the health and safety of the community amidst the closure. Area residents continue to suffer from foul odors and health issues, prompting concerns about the impact of the landfill on their well-being.
