Bountiful City Landfill

Bountiful City Landfill in Woods Cross is the city landfill where household and commercial trash ends up for burial. Locals and haulers use it - it's a working-scale facility on the north edge of town, serving both residents and commercial loads.

Drive up to an entrance booth and then pull onto the scale to be weighed, since tipping fees are charged by weight rather than by load count. After weighing in, vehicles head into the working face area where the landfill looks like layered dirt and compacted piles; expect dust and heavy equipment noises. On the way out the truck goes back over the scale for the outbound weight so the fee can be calculated. The site is large and open, typical of landfills, with visible roads carved into the tipping areas and occasional cover soil patches.
