Annual California Solid Waste Disposal

Tonnages are subject to change due to revisions. The DRS reports are based on information reported by permitted facility operators and compiled by county/regional agency disposal reporting coordinators. Exported includes waste sent by California to other states, other countries or to tribal and indian lands. Total Imported is the total amount of waste imported into California landfills from tribal and indian lands, another state or another country and includes imported transformation waste.

Starting October 1, 2019, CalRecycle switched from gathering data using DRS to gathering data using the Recycling and Disposal Reporting System (RDRS). Please navigate to the RDRS Public Reports Page to view data collected after October 1, 2019.
