Project Description:
The proposed North County Recycling and Transfer Station will be developed on the closed Crazy Horse Landfill site to restore waste disposal services for North Monterey County and Salinas. The facility will accept and transfer up to 400 tons per day of municipal solid waste, recyclables, and organics materials, which will be processed and shipped offsite to recycling markets or to the Johnson Canyon Landfill in Gonzales. Operations will include covered drop-off areas, a household hazardous waste (HHW) facility, and enhanced site infrastructure and traffic improvements during the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The project emphasizes environmental controls, stormwater management, and public accessibility, with the goal of reducing illegal dumping and improving regional waste services.
Project Location:
The proposed project will be located at the closed Crazy Horse Landfill at 350 Crazy Horse Canyon Road, Salinas, Monterey County, CA, 93907. The Assessor’s Parcel Number is 125-271-063.
