A-1 Disposal is the kind of local disposal site people from Salt Lake City use when clearing out garages or doing small remodels. It sits on Beck Street and handles neighborhood-level loads rather than massive commercial hauls. Expect a working, no-frills spot that sees a steady stream of pickup trucks and trailers.
There’s an entrance booth and a scale near the front, so drivers usually slow down, talk to the attendant, and pull up to get weighed. The yard is open and dusty in dry weather, with piles of material and heavy equipment moving around; trucks need to be maneuvered carefully. Loads are typically driven in, dumped into a pit or pile, and then vehicles head back out across the scale before leaving. Weekends, especially in spring, tend to be the busiest times and lines can form.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and tarp loose loads before driving in-wind kicks up a lot of dust and debris on Beck Street.
- Have a plan for where to position your truck or trailer to back up safely; tight turns and shifting piles are common inside the yard.
- Avoid weekend mornings if possible; midweek or later in the day will usually move faster and mean less waiting in line.
