Orange County Steel Salvage Heliport

The closure was almost certainly due to economic and operational reasons. As a private corporate heliport, its existence was tied to the specific needs and budget of the Orange County Steel Salvage company. Following the company's acquisition and the formation of SA Recycling, the facility was likely deemed an unnecessary operational expense by the new management during cost-cutting and operational reviews. There is no evidence of closure due to an accident, military conversion, or regulatory action.

The site, located at approximately 1111 N. Tustin Ave in Anaheim, is an active, large-scale industrial scrap metal recycling facility. It is currently owned and operated by SA Recycling. The entire property is densely packed with scrap materials, processing equipment, and heavy machinery. There are no visible remnants or designated markings of the former heliport.

The heliport had minimal historical significance in the broader context of aviation. It was a private, prior-permission-required (PPR) facility used exclusively by the Orange County Steel Salvage company. Its primary function was likely executive transport, allowing company officials to travel efficiently between corporate sites, visit clients, or commute to major airports, bypassing Southern California's heavy ground traffic. It did not serve the public, handle significant cargo, or have any military role. The identifier 'US-11165' is a non-official code used by third-party data aggregators, indicating it was not a major, federally recognized aviation facility.

There are zero plans or prospects for reopening this heliport. The land is fully utilized for its current, profitable industrial purpose as a scrap yard. Re-establishing a heliport would require clearing valuable operational space and would serve no practical purpose for the current owners, making it both logistically and economically infeasible.
