The recycling can will be picked up every other week on the same day as your regular trash day, but by a different truck. All services will be provided by the City’s current hauler, Ace Disposal. From there it is taken to the Material Recovery and Transfer Facility.

Green waste materials are relatively clean, biodegradable, and unnecessarily take up space in landfills. The materials can be turned into mulch and compost material. Recycling yard trimmings will improve the performance of the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management energy recovery facility (incinerator) and will help extend the life of the landfill up to 20 years!
