Active Case: Chiquita Canyon
Determine Your Eligibility for the Chiquita Canyona Landfill Case
Chiquita Canyona Landfill Mass Tort
The Chiquita Canyon Landfill in Castaic, California, has been mandated to address the odor affecting local neighborhoods after thousands of complaints and numerous violation notices. According to both the property owners and the AQMD, the smell is caused by dimethyl sulfide (DMS) that is coming from an older part of the landfill. DMS is a colorless, oily liquid that is often described as smelling like an onion or worse. The smell reportedly impacts multiple communities, including Castaic, Live Oak, Hasley Canyon, and Val Verde.
In early September, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) issued an abatement order to the landfill’s operators, Waste Connections, to mitigate the odors impacting the community. Specifically, the operators must maximize the use of gas flares, submit monthly reports, bring in an expert committee to investigate and address the issue, and enhance overall monitoring efforts.

Landfill Class Action Lawsuits
Some odors are considered relatively normal. For example, gas stations and meat packaging plants have a distinct smell. The same applies to landfills, which are expected to smell like trash. However, landfill odors must not be a nuisance to the surrounding communities.
Unfortunately, landfill owners often disregard the smells from their property, even after receiving thousands of complaints. This neglect prevents community members from enjoying their property and can lead to physical harm from prolonged exposure to landfill odors.
If you and your family have been affected by the odors coming from a local landfill, it is important that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible. You could have grounds to file a lawsuit. More specifically, you could be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit.
