Frank R. Bowerman is one of the largest landfills in California and the 9th in the U.S., according to the operator. The site rests on 725 acres of land but only 534 is set aside for waste disposal. The government has permitted the landfill to receive 11,500 tons of waste per day, but the annual average is 8500 tons. The annual waste received on the site is approximately 2.5 million tons.

It's a commercial-only landfill. No public disposal is allowed, and municipal solid waste is only accepted after verification of commercial status. The site is estimated to continue functioning until 2053. Additionally, it has a powerplant that converts landfill gas to electricity that can power 26,000 homes.

Or maybe they will call it Bowerman Hills instead of Orchard Hills to make it sound more like Beverly Hills to deceive the FCB's!
