Material Recovery and Transfer Facility

Smallish transfer station that locals use when hauling a load too big for curb pickup or for those who don't want to drive out to a distant landfill. Located in Layton, this is the kind of place neighbors drop off construction debris, yard waste, and bulky items. Trucks come and go; expect a working, industrial feel rather than anything tidy or quiet.

Drive up to an entrance booth and show ID or pay at the window, then pull through to a scale-vehicles usually stop twice so weight can be recorded before and after tipping. The tipping area is a large concrete pad with compactors or containers where loads are dumped and packed down before bigger trucks haul it away. Big rigs often back in and out, so give them space and follow the site traffic flow. Dust picks up easily in Utah’s dry climate, so the lot can be gritty, especially on windy days.
