Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District is the new name of the sanitation district. Cities and townships serviced now have ultimate authority regarding their sanitation needs and are served by the Administrative Control Board. This board is made up of elected officials from participating cities and Salt Lake County. I serve as one of three county council members on this board.
The mission of Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District is to provide sustainable integrated waste and recycling collection services for the health and safety of our community. As a government entity, Wasatch Front Waste is a non-profit. Areas served include unincorporated areas of Salt Lake County and the cities of Taylorsville, Cottonwood Heights, Holladay, Herriman, and a portion of Murray. We boast world class customer service with a 97 percent overall satisfaction score among our customers.
There is approximately 144,000 tons of waste generated annually by the 81,000 homes that we are responsible to collect and haul. We provide a variety of ways to collect and haul this waste including weekly curbside waste and recycling collections. Not every city has weekly recycling pick up, but we believe the more we encourage recycling, the more it saves the environment and our pocketbooks.
Recently Wasatch Front Waste rolled out a green waste program. With this program you pay a little extra ($114 annual fee and $60 start-up fee), but you get a vented green can and weekly pick-up. The waste is then composted and saves landfill costs. Sign up now!
In addition to these great services, Wasatch Front Waste also has a fall leaf pick up, Christmas tree pick up, annual dumpster clean up program, and trailer rental program.
