Landfills and Transfer Stations

There are three landfills in San Luis Obispo County: Cold Canyon Landfill, Chicago Grade Landfill, and Paso Robles Landfill. These facilities accept waste for disposal, recyclables, and organics.

In addition to the three landfills, there are three transfer stations in San Luis Obispo County: Buckeye Processing, North County Recycling for C&D recycling and organics only, and Santa Maria Transfer Station.
