Salt Lake City Transfer Station

A working transfer station in Salt Lake City where residents drop off household and yard loads instead of driving out to a distant landfill. Neighbors, contractors and anyone hauling a truck or trailer use it when a quick dump is needed. The site handles compacting loads before they’re moved off-site.

Drive up to an entrance booth and be ready to stop for the attendant and the inbound scale - they typically weigh loads both coming in and going out. Pull into the traffic flow as directed and follow signs to the unloading area; the tipping floor is large and busy with roll-off trucks and compactors. Expect concrete pads, high berms of material, and a fair amount of dust in dry weather, so vehicles and gear will get gritty. Weekends and spring cleanup bring longer lines and more people, while weekdays can be noticeably quieter.
