Recycling Service

Trans-Jordan Landfill's e-waste recycling program has been suspended but the landfill accepts e-waste as regular waste according to their fee structure. Contact the landfill for more information. 

Due to an emergency fire, the Trans-Jordan Greenwaste Program (disposal and product sales) is permanently closed. Green waste material will still be accepted as trash and charged a gate rate of $39.00 per ton. Please visit Trans-Jordan Landfill for more information. 

Salt Lake County has a free drive-up Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center for county residents, located at 8805 South 700 West in Sandy. 

Hours:
Monday - Saturday
7:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) is anything in or around your home that is poisonous, flammable, corrosive, or toxic, as well as products (such as electronics) that contain certain materials like heavy metals.

Common HHW includes:

• Automotive batteries and fluids like antifreeze and oil
• Fuels
• Paints, stains, and varnishes
• Pesticides, herbicides, and other yard chemicals
• Many cleaning supplies
• Cooking oil
• Aerosols
• Electronics and fluorescent bulbs
• Nonalkaline batteries such as lithium, NiMH, NiCd (alkaline batteries—such as common AA, AAA, C, and D batteries—are not considered hazardous)

Business waste and waste from residents of other counties is accepted for a fee. Business waste is accepted by appointment only (call 385-468-4380 to schedule an appointment for business waste disposal).

It is dangerous to dispose of HHW in your garbage can or down sinks or toilets, and it is illegal to abandon HHW or pour it into gutters, storm drains, or waterways. Storing or disposing of these items improperly poisons our land, air, and water and may result in both civil and criminal penalties.

For more information about HHW collection, visit  SaltLakeHealth.org/HHW.

Alternatively, HHW may be taken to safe HHW disposal sites at the Salt Lake Valley or Trans-Jordan Landfills.
