Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste

Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste is the regional solid waste facility at the south edge of Salt Lake City that people use for household trash, yard clippings, and routine recycling drop-offs. Neighbors, landscapers, and small contractors all show up here when regular curbside pickup won't do. It’s a large, open site set up to handle a steady stream of vehicles.

Drive up to an entrance booth where vehicles pause briefly before entering the main yard. A scale and another stop on the way out are common at facilities like this, so be prepared to slow down twice. Recycling containers sit off to the side of the driving lanes while piles for different materials are spread across the lot - it’s dusty in the dry months, so visibility and traction can change with the weather. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so expect traffic and have items staged for quick unloading.
