ECDC Environmental Landfill
ECDC Environmental Landfill, 1111 West Highway 123, East Carbon, 84520, Utah
ECDC Environmental Landfill on West Highway 123 in East Carbon is the place where trash gets buried rather than moved on. Homeowners with pickup loads and commercial haulers both use this facility, so expect a mix of vehicles and trucks coming and going.
Pulling in, there’s typically an entrance booth and a scale-landfills like this generally charge tipping fees by weight, so stopping on the way in and again on the way out is common. The working area has large mounds of compacted material and earth-moving equipment rolling around; it can be dusty and exposed, especially on windy days. After checking in at the booth or office, drivers are directed to the active dumping cell and then back to the scale. Plan for simple, functional facilities rather than anything fancy; this is a working landfill, not a reuse center.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Secure and cover loose loads before leaving home-wind off the highway will scatter trash and makes unloading slower.
- Build in extra time for weekends and spring cleanup; lines and waits at the scale are common when lots of people are cleaning out yards or remodeling.
- If bringing a commercial load, have any business paperwork handy and be prepared to be weighed; commercial traffic is treated differently than single residential pickups at many landfills.
