Solid Waste Special Service District #1
1000 Sand Flats Rd, Moab, UT 84532
(435) 259-3867Solid Waste Special Service District #1 sits out on Sand Flats Road in Moab and handles everyday household trash plus the usual recycling and yard-type drop-offs. Neighbors, landscapers, and small local businesses use it for routine disposals and cleanups.
The site is the kind of place with a simple entrance off 1000 Sand Flats Rd-look for a booth or gate where traffic is directed. Expect open tipping areas, piles or containers for different materials, and a lot of gravel and dust since this is the high desert. Vehicles normally pull up, empty into the appropriate spot, then exit past any scale or checkout area; lines form on busy days like spring cleanup and weekends.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and secure loads - wind and dust are real issues here, especially on dry, breezy days.
- Sort and load materials before getting to the gate so dropping things off goes faster.
- Aim for a weekday morning if possible; weekends tend to be the busiest times and backups are common.
