BFI Waste Sys of NA/Azusa Gas Sys Opr - Landfill in Azusa, California

BFI Waste Sys of NA/Azusa Gas Sys Opr is a landfill facility located at 1201-1209 W Gladstone St in Azusa, Los Angeles County, California. Operating under NAICS code 562212 (Solid Waste Landfill), it serves the regional waste management needs of the greater Los Angeles area. As a landfill, it plays a key role in the disposal of municipal solid waste within one of the most populous counties in the United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA, including RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills and Clean Air Act regulations governing landfill gas emissions. California's stringent state-level environmental standards, such as those from CalRecycle and local air quality management districts, further govern its operations. Typical landfill operations include waste compaction, daily cover, leachate management, and landfill gas collection systems to mitigate methane emissions. Environmentally, the landfill's gas collection system is critical for reducing methane leakage, a potent greenhouse gas. Proximity to groundwater resources in the San Gabriel Valley requires robust leachate management to prevent contamination. The facility's location near residential and industrial areas in Azusa necessitates careful traffic management and community engagement to minimize local impacts.

Located in the San Gabriel Valley, the landfill operates in a region with Mediterranean climate and significant urban development. Key environmental considerations include landfill gas collection to reduce methane emissions, leachate management to protect groundwater in the valley's aquifer system, and community proximity requiring odor and traffic controls. California's strict air quality and waste management regulations further shape operational practices.
