BODEMIX Landfill - San Francisco, California Solid Waste Management Facility

BODEMIX is an operational landfill located at 696 Amador in San Francisco, California, United States. It is classified under NAICS code 562212, which covers solid waste landfills, and operates within the San Francisco County area, serving the region's waste disposal requirements. As a landfill in California, BODEMIX operates under the regulatory framework of the US EPA's RCRA Subtitle D for municipal solid waste landfills, as well as state-level regulations enforced by CalRecycle. The facility is subject to landfill gas management rules under the Clean Air Act, which require gas collection and control systems to mitigate methane emissions. Leachate management is also a key operational aspect, with systems designed to prevent groundwater contamination. The landfill plays a critical role in San Francisco's waste management infrastructure, handling a portion of the city's solid waste. Its location in an urban area necessitates careful management of community impacts, including traffic and odor control. The facility contributes to the broader circular economy goals by managing waste in a regulated environment.

San Francisco's Mediterranean climate with dry summers and wet winters influences leachate generation patterns at BODEMIX, requiring robust leachate collection and treatment systems to protect local groundwater. The landfill's proximity to the San Francisco Bay and urban communities heightens the importance of effective landfill gas management to reduce methane leakage and minimize odor impacts. Regulatory oversight under the Clean Air Act mandates gas collection and control to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.
