Puente Hills Landfill is the largest landfill in the United Sates, rising 500 feet high and covering 700 acres. As of October 31, 2013, its operating permit has been terminated and it no longer accepts new refuse. The landfill is located in the Puente Hills, in southeastern Los Angeles County near Whittier, California. When it was operating, Puente Hills Landfill took in 13 tons of trash a day. 30,000 cubic feet per minute of landfill gas created by the landfill is funneled to the Puente Hills Gas-to-Energy Facility, which generates more than 40 megawatts of electricity. |
