Trans-Jordan Landfill

Trans-Jordan Landfill is the big burial site for trash serving South Jordan and the surrounding area. Locals, contractors and haulers drop off everything from pickup loads to commercial trucks here. The place handles the final disposal of waste, so expect a large, working landfill rather than a tidy transfer station.

Drive up the access road to an entrance booth and get directed onto the scale-this place charges by weight, so there’s a weigh-in and a weigh-out. After that, follow the signs or attendants to the active tipping face where trucks unload; the site is large and spread out with dirt roads and compacted working areas. The dry Utah climate means it’s often dusty, so wind can kick up a visible haze on warm days. Commercial loads are accepted and common, and tipping fees are set by weight rather than per-item.
