THE SANITATION DISTRICTS
The Sanitation Districts of Los Angeles (the Districts) are a partnership of 24 independent special districts serving about 5.3 million people in Los Angeles County. The Districts lead a regional movement towards environmental sustainability in California by converting waste to vital resources such as water and energy. The Districts have been providing wastewater and solid waste management as early as the 1920's, and have been expanding renewable energy recovery at every opportunity.
Most facilities are located throughout Southern California and include: over 1,400 miles of sanitary sewers; eleven wastewater treatment plants treating almost 500 MGD; a reclaimed water reuse program serving over 500 sites directly, as well as replenishing groundwater; three active sanitary landfills handling a total of approximately 16,000 tons per day, including the largest landfill in the nation; three materials recovery facilities/transfer stations; and multiple renewable energy production facilities generating over 127 Megawatts, enough to power 150,000 homes. Innovative projects in progress include design and construction of a regional 2,800-acre landfill that will accept 100 years of solid waste via rail transport, and the largest indoor and outdoor biosolids composting facilities in the country.
The Sanitation Districts are a non-civil service public agency managed by engineers with 2000+ employees, including over 250 engineers. The majority of engineers work at our headquarters in the City of Whittier, conveniently located near the 60/605-freeway interchange, 15 miles from downtown L.A. Our engineers enjoy a 40-hour workweek. Many car/vanpool opportunities exist throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. The Sanitation Districts have various opportunities to enhance career growth as evidenced through various programs including tuition reimbursement, professional development, mentoring, and professional dues reimbursement. Employees also enjoy scheduled salary increases, and annual cost of living adjustments.

Engineers are involved in all phases of our work, from conception to operation.
