El Sobrante Landfill

Located in Corona, the El Sobrante Landfill is a state-of-the-art waste disposal facility that protects the environment and minimizes the impact to the local landscape. With a capacity to process up to 10,000 tons of waste per day, it is an integral part of Riverside County’s waste disposal system, processing about 43% of the County’s annual waste.

Waste Management of the Inland Empire has placed over 600 acres of the landfill into a permanent habitat preserve and El Sobrante is one of six landfills nationwide to receive international recognition from the Wildlife Habitat Council for its outstanding environmental track record.
