Trans-Jordan Landfill

Trans-Jordan Landfill on South Bacchus Highway in South Jordan is the large-scale landfill most homeowners and haulers use for regular trash and construction debris. Big trucks and heavy equipment are common, and the site looks like an industrial yard rather than a civic drop-off spot.

Pull into a gatehouse/scale area where loads are logged and fees are assessed by weight; vehicles are typically weighed in and again on the way out. After that, follow the traffic flow to the active dumping area - larger trucks use the main tipping pad while smaller vehicles find a separate spot to unload. The property is mostly dirt and compacted piles, with heavy machinery moving material around and different sections for different material types. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, and commercial haulers use this site regularly.
