Garbage & Recycling Curbside Pickup
The City provides weekly garbage and recycling collection for residential dwellings (qualifying single-family units and duplexes only). Ace Disposal has been contracted to collect and dispose of solid waste for the City. Pickup times vary by workload.
If you experience problems with your pickup, call Ace Disposal's Customer Service line: 801-363-9995.
Trash and recycling cans should be placed at least 3 feet away from any object (such as other cans, mailboxes, poles, and vehicles) with the arrow on the lid pointing towards the street and no more than 2 feet from the curb. Please have your containers out by 7 am If you need your can repaired, call 801-483-6074. Residents are responsible for cleaning their own containers.
Fees
Owner-occupied single-family residences may have one (1) garbage can and one (1) recycling can for the cost of $12 per month. This is billed monthly. Customers may have one additional garbage or recycling can for an additional $12 per month. Prepayment of the remaining billing cycle and a $25 delivery fee is required.
Rental properties consisting of single-family residences and duplexes (2 units) also qualify for city-provided waste collection, as long as they conform to property layout requirements. Rentals are managed through our Business Licensing division and garbage is billed annually at the same fees as owner-occupied homes, along with permit fees. Please contact Business Licensing at 801-483-6063 for details.
Roll-off Dumpsters
Residents may rent a roll-off container to dispose of yard refuse and debris, including tree limbs, leaves, shrubbery, and grass trimmings, as well as items such as used carpet, appliances, mattresses etc. Please read the agreement for limitations.
Reservations are not accepted by phone and are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Containers book quickly; it's best to book in advance and have alternative dates available in case your first request is booked. Deliveries are made on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Limit to one dumpster per week. Click to Reserve your dumpster.
