The Palos Verdes Landfill is located between Crenshaw and Hawthorne Boulevards between Palos Verdes Drive North and Rolling Hills Road. The landfill was opened in 1952 by a private company after years of mining for diatomite (diatomaceous earth)
The 291 acre site was purchased five years later by the county Sanitation District which accepted trash including hazordous materials until it was full and closed in 1980. Recently, the County had considered constructing a golf course, however local opposition killed the project. (See Palos Verdes Golf for a description of this proposed project ). An energy facility converts methane gas from the decomposing trash into energy on-site.
