Facts and practical information

The Toyon Canyon Landfill is a controversial landfill wholly within Griffith Park in the Los Feliz hillside neighborhood of greater Hollywood in central Los Angeles, California in the Santa Monica Mountains. Filling began in 1957 and ended in 1985. A lawsuit in 1959 attempted to stop the project but was unsuccessful. A summary of the lawsuit is available here. There was a move in the 1980s to expand the landfill into Royce's Canyon to the northwest, but that was defeated. ()
