We’re all familiar with thrifting by now, but what about giving a second-life to stuff left in a landfill?
Why now: The store at the Lamb Canyon Landfill is now officially welcoming shoppers on the last Saturday of each month, letting people pick-up exercise equipment, camping gear, bicycles, and tons of other discarded, but still good, items.
Why it matters: Lisa Thompson, environmental compliance manager for the county’s Department of Waste Resources, told LAist they’re hoping this will educate people about where their garbage really goes once it leaves the curb, all while saving precious space at the landfill for future generations.
The deals: They’ve discovered some unique, rare, and even historical goods, including a humongous pair of cherry-red Budweiser helmets, toy boxes full of action figures, a drone with its remote, and a World War II footlocker with a soldier’s name on it.
Other SoCal counties: L.A. County confirmed to LAist that it doesn’t offer a similar service, but Orange County does have a free materials exchange program where people can drop off things like chemicals and pool cleaners in exchange for products they do need.
We’re all familiar with thrifting by now, but what about giving a second life to stuff left in a landfill?
You can find some dirt cheap deals at Riverside County’s “Found It Again Reuse Store” — where one person’s trash may be your next household treasure.
The store at the Lamb Canyon Landfill is officially open for the 2026 season.
Shoppers are welcome to stop by this Saturday, or the last Saturday of each month through October. People can pick-up exercise equipment, camping gear, bicycles, and tons of other discarded, but still good, items.
Lisa Thompson, environmental compliance manager for the county’s Department of Waste Resources, told LAist they’re hoping this will educate people about where their garbage really goes once it leaves the curb, all while saving precious space at the landfill for future generations.
“We want to continue to provide low-cost services to residents so that they can do the right thing,” she said. “And when they do come in and drop off their trash or whatever, they can also take advantage of, you know, taking something home that they can probably use at a much lower cost than anywhere else that they can purchase.”
What can you find?
When you think of a landfill, garbage and trash typically comes to mind, but Joe Laffoon, a crew lead worker with the department, told KVCR for LAist that you’d be surprised by what people throw away.
In the market for a new bicycle? The store has plenty, and each one would run you around $6, even vintage or European models.
What about a new treadmill or home gym? Almost all of the workout equipment, regardless of shape and size, would cost you $5.
Important to know: Don’t forget your closed-toed shoes and a debit or credit card, the store doesn’t accept cash.
Good to know: Try to arrive closer to when they open at 9 a.m., so you can try and beat the rush of other eager shoppers.
Looking for a VHS or DVD player? Electronics start at $6, but Laffoon noted some unique or rare items would go for a little more.
“Prices vary, but for the most part, we hardly break $30 on any one item,” he said.
All of the proceeds are directed back into the store and other programs Riverside County subsidizes, such as electronic waste and tire disposal.
But Laffoon said they really aren’t in it for the money — it is thrift store pricing, after all. The goal is to give these items a new lease on life, away from the landfill.
Plus, they’ve discovered some unique, rare, and even historical goods, including a humongous pair of cherry-red Budweiser helmets, toy boxes full of action figures, a drone with its remote, and a World War II footlocker with a soldier’s name on it.
“Yeah, kids grow up, and instead of just letting that toy go into the landfill, it's almost like a second chance, right,” Laffoon said. "Kind of like at the ending of Toy Story 4, you know what I mean? Here we are, pulling them out, saving them. Give them another chance with another child.”
Bicycles, regardless of their size or shape, would cost you $6 at the Lamb Canyon Landfill's Found It Again Reuse Store.

How items are selected for the store
Laffoon and the other landfill staff consistently check what people are dropping off to make sure it’s not hazardous, and to see if any of the items are still in quality condition.
“We collect used items that are dropped off here for disposal,” he said. “But we find use with them again, we clean them up, test them, and if they look good, we bring them here to the reuse store.”
Many of the items up for sale are made of metal, plastic, and other heavy materials that are hard to decompose. The weight of each item purchased is tracked and taken into account, which Laffoon said relieves some of the landfill’s bulk.
The electronics may also have mercury in them, which is exactly the kind of chemical they don’t want to have lying around. But every stereo, gaming console, and circuited car part that leaves the store is a little less hazardous waste Riverside County needs to manage.
“Eventually, yes, these items may return back to us,” Laffoon said. “But you know, we're helping the diversion process.”
How shoppers feel about the finds
Joseph Mitchell learned about the store during its soft-opening phase, which started in May, while he was visiting the landfill.
He told KVCR for LAist he was already able to snag a matching Maytag washer and dryer set — the new jet cleaner kind, he noted — for $26, and a scooter that typically costs $1,500 for just $6.
“I'm 255 pounds, it runs me right up the hill,” he said.
Staff keep an eye on the items people leave at the landfill, and if they're in good enough condition, they'll be cleaned up and brought to the reuse store for someone else to purchase.

A pair of fire-engine red kayaks had some shoppers clamoring for the sale, and they ended up being picked-up for $20 each.
Jeffrey Goslowski was eyeing a camera tripod and a multi-track mixer, but he said the trouble with some of the items, the electronics especially, is they’re not always functional. Everything is sold as-is, but the store does have plugs available if you want to try it out before you buy.
However, he told KVCR for LAist that his “biggest problem” is driving a sedan to the store, not a pick-up truck, so he wouldn’t have a way of getting most of the items home.
Jonathan Rodriguez said he’s really into thrifting and always on the lookout for second-hand steals, so when he heard positive reviews from the reuse store, he felt the need to make the 20 minute drive down from Hemet and see it for himself.
He found a working pair of headphones, as well as a Harley Davidson premium luggage day bag for $6, and Rodriguez said he appreciates the price-tag when compared to his usual go-to Salvation Army store.
The reuse store is open from 9 a.m. through noon on the last Saturday of each month, but don't forget your closed-toed shoes and credit or debit card.

“I'm glad we have other chances and opportunities to go, you know, second-hand shopping,” he told KVCR for LAist. “I feel like they're doing a good thing here.”
What are the other SoCal counties doing?
L.A. County offers two reuse centers where people can pick-up used, or partially used, cleaners, paint, and other products free of charge, and Orange County has a free materials exchange program where people can drop off things like chemicals and pool cleaners in exchange for products they do need.
But some private companies in California have launched similar stores, including in the San Bernardino Mountains, and Thompson said their Riverside Waste Resources team was able to learn lessons from them about what works, and what doesn’t.

Chef Diego Argoti of Estrano is pairing up with Skyduster Beer to turn a loading dock inside downtown L.A.'s City Market South into Estrano Verano — a 39-day World Cup pop-up running June 11 to July 19 with live fire cooking, freshly brewed beer for every single match.
Why it matters: Estrano Verano isn't just a place to catch a game. It's a bet that L.A. is ready to have fun again — on its own terms, its organizers said.
Read on ... to find all the details.
For 39 straight days — the entire World Cup competition from start to finish — Chef Diego Argoti of Estrano, the viral street pasta pop-up, and formerly Poltergeist, will be cooking over a live, open fire in a loading dock. There's freshly brewed beer made just steps away. No reservation, no dress code. Just cold beer, good food, and every World Cup match on.
Estrano Verano is the World Cup viewing destination you haven't heard of yet — but will.
What is it?
The gathering is a collaboration between Argoti and the founders of Skyduster Beer, Johnny Marler and Nick Smith.
Running from this Thursday, June 11, to the World Cup final on Sunday, July 19, it will be open every day one hour before the first kickoff for the 104 matches. Located inside City Market South — a century-old former produce market near the Fashion District in Downtown L.A.— neighbors include Rossoblu, chef Steve Samson's Bologna-inspired Italian restaurant, and Dama, chef Antonia Lofaso's Latin-inspired restaurant and lounge.
Estrano Verano Skyduster Brewery Sports Bar at City Market South 1124 San Julian St., Los Angeles June 11–July 19 Doors open one hour before kickoff. No reservations required.
Who's behind it
Argoti, who has cultivated a reputation as the enfant terrible of the L.A. food world, cut his teeth at Bestia and Bavel, later earning a James Beard semifinalist nod, StarChefs Rising Star 2024 and other accolades — all out of his barcade Poltergeist in Echo Park which closed the same year. Dishes there included a crispy Thai Caesar salad with a towering rice puff crouton that defied gravity, and a butterflied masa-fried dorade — head still on — bathed in Hachiya gazpacho, pink lady aguachile, and mussels escabeche, best enjoyed against the blue hue of classic '80s and '90s arcade games.

Marler and Smith, two veterans of the beverage industry, founded Skyduster in 2021. The L.A.-only brewery has since landed its beer at the Greek Theatre and Dodger Stadium. The City Market location marks Skyduster's first physical space — with a Silver Lake beer garden already in the works for 2027.
The two met in 2024 at the premiere of the PBS SoCal documentary series Rebel Kitchens Southern California, where Argoti spoke openly about losing his father. Afterward, Marler approached him and shared that he had just lost his own father as well. The two bonded over their shared grief, and their partnership soon took shape.
"We're here because both our parents died within a month of each other," Marler said. "If it wasn't for that, none of this happens."
The food and beer
At first glance, the permanent bar menu reads like standard sports bar or pub fare — but with Argoti in the kitchen, there's always more to the story. Marler had two non-negotiables: a burger and a hot dog. Everything else was Argoti's call. That means a Pad Krapow Chicken Sandwich built on masa-fried chicken thighs, holy basil, Thai chilies, papaya salad, and lime leaf aioli — and a Yuba Cheesesteak that swaps the beef for marinated tofu skin on a seeded semolina roll with celery root cheez whiz and enoki shoestrings. Starters include Jidori party wings (Szechuan Buffalo or Tamarind Sticky) and a blue corn tostada with Hokkaido scallops. That menu is available every day the doors are open.

Friday through Sunday, Argoti, alongside chefs Alan Rudoy and Sebastian Salazar, takes it a step further: a separate live-fire menu is posted day-of and available from 4 p.m. until sold out. Think of it as the bar menu's wilder, more unpredictable cousin — subject to whims. The custom-built open fire rig is the heart of the operation. "I want to get some octopus — when there is Morocco against Japan," Argoti said. "That was one of my biggest things for this, to cook something that most people don't think about here in the U.S." A Morocco-Japan matchup is projected as a likely Round of 32 fixture, which means that octopus could be coming sooner than you think.
All of it bears the fingerprints of Argoti's full body of work — from his time at Bestia and Bavel, to the street pasta chaos of Estrano and the barcade-on-acid menu of Poltergeist.
Washing it all down is Skyduster's intentionally simple four-beer lineup — a Japanese rice lager, Italian Pilsner, West Coast IPA, and Citrus Wit — all brewed on site and built to pair with food, not fight it.
Why this, why now
When I asked Argoti and Marler why the city needs a spot like this right now, Marler was direct. "I think L.A. is missing a lot of fun right now," he said. "I just don't know what happened." Estrano Verano is betting that people are ready for a place with fewer rules and more community.
The World Cup serves as the perfect unifier — every country represented in the tournament, every walk of life, welcome to catch a match or just hang. And with the historic City Market South complex as the backdrop, a century-old former produce market that's seen the city change around it, the setting feels less like a pop-up and more like exactly where you're supposed to be this summer.
Just show up: Skyduster Brewery Sports Bar, 1124 San Julian St., City Market South, downtown LA.

"This reminds me of jumping out of an airplane and knowing everything is gonna be okay — and afterward it's just gonna be some of the most fun you've ever had in your life," Argoti said.
The U.S. Supreme Court is heading into its crunch time, the part of the year when the justices are racing to finish decisions and dissents in the cases that remain undecided.
More details: There are 23 cases left, out of the 58 that have been argued. Two major cases have already been decided: One essentially gutted what remained of the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act, prompting Republicans in a number of Southern states to redraw congressional maps to diminish or eliminate majority-Black districts that have elected Black members of Congress.
Why it matters: Many of the most difficult and controversial cases, however, remain to be decided in the coming weeks, with the justices aiming to conclude their work by the end of June or early July. The Supreme Court is next expected to release decisions on Thursday, June 11.

The second major case that has been decided struck down President Trump's tariff program because the court said Congress had not authorized it, and Trump exceeded his authority in doing it on his own.
Many of the most difficult and controversial cases, however, remain to be decided in the coming weeks, with the justices aiming to conclude their work by the end of June or early July. The Supreme Court is next expected to release decisions on Thursday, June 11.
So what's left?
Birthright citizenship
Trump v. Barbara
Trump has long maintained that the Constitution does not guarantee birthright citizenship for babies born on U.S. soil, and on the first day of his second term in office, he signed an executive order barring citizenship for children born in the U.S. if parents entered the country illegally or if the parents are living and working in the U.S. legally with temporary visas. The executive order never went into effect because every lower court judge to review it concluded, in the words of one, that the order was "blatantly unconstitutional." Specifically, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, enacted after the Civil War, says that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."
While almost all scholars interpret that language broadly, and as applying to all babies born in the U.S., Trump himself maintains that it applies only to the children of former slaves, and definitely not to the children of those in the U.S. illegally or the children of noncitizens living here legally.
At issue are laws recently enacted in about half the states that ban trans girls and women from participating in women's sports at publicly funded schools. Before the court are two cases — one involving varsity competition at colleges and universities, and the other involving sports in high schools. Supporters of the bans say the laws are needed to prevent athletes whose assigned sex at birth was male from having an unfair advantage in women's sports. Opponents of the bans say they discriminate based on sex, in violation of both federal law and the Constitution's guarantee to equal protection of the law. And for athletes at every level, the issue is deeply personal, with tennis greats Billie Jean King and Martina Navratilova on opposing sides, along with hundreds of other athletes.
Will independent government agencies remain independent?
Trump v. Slaughter
Donald Trump is not the first president to try to fire the heads of independent agencies. President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to fire one of the five Federal Trade Commission commissioners then serving in office. But in 1935, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously against the president; the court declared that under the federal law, commissioners could only be fired "for cause," meaning "inefficiency in office, neglect of duty, or malfeasance."
Every Supreme Court since then has reaffirmed that decision. If the conservative supermajority sides with Trump, he (as well as future presidents) will be able to fire, at will, agency leaders in all or almost all previously independent agencies.
Ironically, the commissioner in the crosshairs this time was also a member of the Federal Trade Commission. Trump appointed Rebecca Slaughter to the FTC in his first term and fired her in his second. The Supreme Court allowed the firing to go through on a temporary basis, over staunch dissents from the court's three liberal justices.
But the odds are that the court's six conservative justices will rule definitively in Trump's favor, the result being that independent agencies will no longer be independent.
So does that mean he can fire members of the Federal Reserve Board?
Trump v. Cook
Trump threatened to fire the head of the Fed, Jerome Powell, and tried to fire Lisa Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Fed board. But the Supreme Court so far has refused to allow her removal. Cook's case, now awaiting decision by the court, has prompted considerable anxiety among economists, business leaders and others. When the Slaughter case was argued in December, some of the conservative justices seemed to suggest that the Fed had more protections than other agencies. Just how the court will thread that needle remains to be seen.
In the case before the court, Mississippi defends late-arriving ballots, noting that the Constitution gives states the right to run their own elections. That said, the Trump administration and the Republican Party take the opposite position. They maintain that under federal law the election has to happen on Election Day, and anything that happens after that is not part of the election.
Congress enacted the Temporary Protected Status law in 1990 to allow fully vetted and eligible migrants to live and work legally in the U.S. if they cannot return safely to their countries because of natural disasters, armed conflicts and other extraordinary conditions. Since the law was enacted 36 years ago, every president, Republican and Democrat, has embraced it. Except Trump. In his first term, he tried and failed to kill off TPS. But in the 16 months since he returned to office, he may well be more successful. Currently, there are 17 countries whose migrants have been designated with TPS status, and so far Trump is seeking to eliminate 13 of those countries from the TPS list.
The two test cases before the Supreme Court involve migrants from Haiti and Syria. The Haitians — more than 300,000 of them — have been living legally in the U.S. since a devastating earthquake in 2010, followed by a deadly cholera epidemic, domestic terrorism, including widespread kidnappings and killings by marauding gangs, and political assassinations that have continued to this day. The Syrians are a much smaller group ofroughly 3,800.
The Trump administration argues that decisions about TPS are entirely up to the president and that the courts have no power to review those decisions. If the court agrees, that could well lead to mass deportations.
Geofencing entails drawing a virtual geographical fence around an area where a crime was committed. In this case, the area within the geofence line included not just a bank where a robbery took place but also a church and a senior citizens home. The government sought a warrant that required Google to search its data and turn over any of the names of users who were within the geofence line at the time of the crime.
Essentially, the question for the justices is whether this new technique is ingenious, Orwellian, or both? The government contends that because people are free NOT to give their location data to their tech provider, the data that the tech company does have must be turned over to police pursuant to a warrant. Countering that argument, opponents of geofencing contend that because the warrant directs the tech company to search millions of users' location history, millions of people were subjected to a search despite never having done anything suspicious.
In most states, gun owners can bring firearms onto private property, unless the property owner tells them otherwise. But five states — Hawaii, California, Maryland, New York and New Jersey — have passed laws that require gun owners to get permission in advance. The question facing the justices is whether that requirement for advance permission violates the Second Amendment right to bear arms.
In a second case, the question is whether a federal law that makes it a felony for drug users to possess a gun violates the Second Amendment. The law is akin to one that resulted in the prosecution and conviction of Hunter Biden. Biden was convicted of the gun law in this case, along with two other charges, in connection with his purchasing a firearm in 2018.
In 2022 , the court issued a broad ruling declaring that gun regulations henceforth would be deemed unconstitutional if they had no analog to a similar gun regulation that existed at the founding. Lower courts have found the decision confusing and difficult to administer, and they have unsubtly complained about the lack of guidance on gun issues from the Supreme Court. The two gun cases this term may answer at least some of those questions.

Californians have been here before: The polls close and one candidate appears to be out of the running — only to see their fortunes shift as more mail-in ballots are counted. It's happening in the races for L.A. mayor and California governor as the votes continue to be counted in the primary election.
The backstory: More and more Californians are voting by mail, and people who turn their ballots in closer to the deadline tend to skew more progressive.
The dramatic flip: In the mayor matchup, Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV star, had a significant runner-up lead over L.A. City Councilmember Nithya Raman when polls closed June 2. But Raman had been steadily picking up votes as results rolled in, taking over the second spot from Pratt as of Sunday. By Monday, the Associated Press called the race for Raman. She will face incumbent Karen Bass in the November general election.

It's happening in the races for L.A. mayor and California governor as the votes continue to be counted in the primary election.
More and more Californians are voting by mail, and people who turn their ballots in closer to the deadline tend to skew more progressive. There are an estimated 140,000 outstanding vote-by-mail ballots in L.A. County that still need to be counted, and about 92,000 in Orange County.
A not-unusual flip
In the mayor matchup, Spencer Pratt, a former reality TV star, had a significant runner-up lead over L.A. City Councilmember Nithya Raman when polls closed June 2. But Raman had been steadily picking up votes as results rolled in, taking over the second spot from Pratt as of Sunday. By Monday, the Associated Press called the race for Raman. She will face incumbent Karen Bass in the November general election.
The race for L.A. mayor started to noticeably shift last week. More than 140,000 ballots were processed Friday, and once they were added to the total, Raman had inched closer to TV personality Spencer Pratt in the race for second place. Most if not all of the ballots were vote by mail, according to estimates based on results from the L.A. County Registrar-Recorder / County Clerk.
Nearly 157,000 more ballots were processed by Saturday, about half of which were vote by mail.
Raman was nearly 22,000 votes ahead of Pratt as of Monday.
It’s been a similar story in the governor’s race. Republican Steve Hilton was in the top spot with a lead of a few percentage points over Democratic challenger Xavier Becerra last Tuesday. Becerra has now eclipsed Hilton by about 202,000 votes and is headed to the November runoff. It was unclear who would be joining Becerra in the general election as of Monday.
Vote surges that flips races and advance lower-ranked candidates to the general election aren’t new (which is why you may hear some refer to Election Day as election week or election season).
In 2024, for example, L.A. City Council District 14 incumbent Kevin de León wrapped up election night ahead of his challengers, but the lead eroded in the days following.
Voting by mail is more popular with Democrats than Republicans, and California accepts those ballots up to a week after the election (as long as it was postmarked on or before last Tuesday).
Changes in the results have started to slow down and should continue to drop off after Tuesday'sdeadline.
When to expect new numbers
Updated vote totals are being released as ballots continue to be verified and counted.
The drops continue this week and are expected around 4 p.m. today through Friday, according to the registrar-recorder.
The updates will become more infrequent starting next week as the number of outstanding ballots dwindle. Drops are expected around 4 p.m. June 16 and 18, as well as June 24 and 26.
How to tell if your ballot has been counted
You can track when your vote has been received and counted through the Where’s My Ballot? tool.
You can sign up to get notifications through that tool, but some voters have been reporting delays, which the Registrar-Recorder’s Office said it’s aware of.
County officials saw a “large volume” of vote-by-mail ballots around Election Day, which could lead to slight delays, a spokesperson told LAist in an email. Those ballots need to be processed and scanned before notifications can be sent.
L.A. County also has its own vote-by-mail tracking tool that may update quicker. You can check the status of your ballot here.
Orange County has a similar tool for tracking your ballot, which you can find here.
How to stay up-to-date
You can sign up to get the latest L.A. County ballot count updates sent straight to your email inbox here. You can sign up for Orange County updates here, and from the California Secretary of State here.
