| COMMERCIAL ACCESS ONLY |
No public access. Commercial haulers are permitted to dispose of municipal solid waste at this site. Proof of current Orange County based business license, California contractor’s license or other form of business identification (no business cards) is required at the landfill fee station to gain entrance, as State operating permit prohibits public dumping at this site.
If State permitted daily tonnage limit is reached at any Orange County landfill, waste haulers are subject to diversion. The County experiences more diversion at the Frank R. Bowerman Landfill than at the other two County landfill sites. Commercial haulers who do not have a Waste Disposal Agreement (WDA) with the County of Orange are subject to diversion at any time to the Olinda Alpha Landfill near Brea, the Prima Deshecha Landfill in San Juan Capistrano or transfer stations located throughout the county, due to the regulatory tonnage capacity of this landfill. Please call (949) 551-7100 or (714) 834-4000 for current status prior to transporting waste to this landfill.
Commercial access is available from the Santa Ana Freeway (I-5) or the San Diego Freeway (I-405). Exit at Sand Canyon Avenue. The major cross street is Portola Parkway. Click here to see map. |

| OPEN AND CLOSURE DATES |
| Frank R. Bowerman
Landfill is approximately 725 acres with 341
acres permitted for refuse disposal. The landfill
opened in 1990 and is scheduled to close in approximately
2053. A public
park is the planned end use of the site. |
| |
| SPECIAL PROGRAMS |
Biomitigation
Program
Landfill capital projects sometimes affect the
plant and wildlife species native to the site.
The Integrated Waste Management Department strives
to restore all impacted sites with plant and animal
life indigenous to the area.
This is accomplished through a biological mitigation
plan. The plan ensures establishment of a plant
community capable of supporting wildlife species
of the same diversity and density found in these
communities under natural conditions. |
