Barstow Sanitary Landfill

As of 2022, Barstow Sanitary Landfill has approximately 3,092,102 tons of waste in place. The total permitted design capacity of the facility is 50,431,080 tons, meaning the site is currently at approximately 6% of its total design capacity. The facility accepts approximately 86,955 tons of waste per year based on the most recent annual data. At the current rate of fill, the facility is projected to reach capacity and close around 2071.

Barstow Sanitary Landfill has an LFG energy project with a current status of 'Low Potential'. The facility generates approximately 0.6 mmscfd of landfill gas.

Barstow Sanitary Landfill currently covers approximately 43.4 acres with a depth of approximately 75 feet. The facility opened in 1963 and has been in continuous operation since then. The design specifications call for a total area of 331 acres. The size of a landfill reflects both its operational history and the volume of waste it has processed over its lifetime of service to the surrounding community.

Barstow Sanitary Landfill does not currently have an active landfill gas collection system. Landfill gas is produced naturally as organic waste decomposes underground. Facilities without active collection systems may use passive venting to manage gas migration. Future LFG collection projects may be considered as the volume of waste in place increases.

Barstow Sanitary Landfill participates in the following environmental programs: composting services are available at this facility; leachate recirculation is practiced to accelerate waste decomposition; an LFG energy project with status 'Low Potential' is associated with this site.
