What to know in Salt Lake City

Local rules and laws

Utah Code 19-6-12 (Disposal of Electronic Waste Program): requires manufacturers to offer collection/recycling for consumer electronics, but Utah does NOT mandate e-waste recycling and has NO statewide landfill ban on electronics — the law is notably more permissive than most western states.
Utah Code 19-6-6 (Lead Acid Battery Disposal): it is illegal to landfill a vehicle/lead-acid battery in Utah; retailers selling lead-acid batteries must accept up to two used batteries from a customer at purchase.
Utah is NOT a PaintCare state — no paint stewardship law has passed, so there is no PaintCare-funded drop-off network and no point-of-sale paint recovery fee.
Salt Lake County HHW sites publicly state landfills in Salt Lake, Davis, and Summit counties will not knowingly accept hazardous waste (including batteries) from households or businesses, even though there is no formal statewide ban.
Solid waste regulated under Utah Admin Code R315 by the DEQ Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control.
Utah Code 19-6-910: adopted the federal Universal Waste Rule, regulating management of batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing devices, and lamps to encourage recycling over disposal.
Utah Code 19-6-903: prohibits open dumping of solid waste including hazardous materials; landfills are required to have programs preventing hazardous waste acceptance.

Useful local details

Three-site HHW model: Sandy collection center (8805 S 700 W), Salt Lake Valley Landfill (6030 W California Ave), Trans-Jordan Landfill (10473 S Bacchus Hwy). Sandy and the Valley Landfill accept electronics; Trans-Jordan does NOT.
All three sites are FREE for Salt Lake County residents for household-sized loads — paid for via the county landfill assessment, not per-drop fees.
Salt Lake Valley Landfill is residential-only for e-waste; businesses must go to Sandy by appointment (385-468-4380) or to private processors.
Salt Lake City residents (SLC proper, garbage-billed by the city) get TWO free Call 2 Haul pickups/year — including e-waste — separate from the county HHW system. WFWRD residents (Holladay, Millcreek, Magna, Taylorsville, etc.) do NOT get this; they rely on county HHW.
Murray City Public Works STOPPED accepting HHW/paint — older directories listing Murray are stale. Use the three county sites.
Empty or dried-out latex paint cans are NOT accepted at HHW sites (and Utah has no PaintCare network) — residents are on their own to dry small amounts and trash the can.
SLC garbage cart is green; recycling cart is blue; compost cart is brown; optional glass cart is gray and runs through Momentum Recycling, not the city.
Salt Lake City vs Salt Lake County: 'Salt Lake City' = the city with Call 2 Haul and SLC Sustainability/SLCgreen. 'Salt Lake County' = the broader Health Dept HHW program serving all county residents including SLC.
Lead-acid car battery disposal: state law forces retailer takeback — any auto parts store (AutoZone, O'Reilly, NAPA, Interstate) must accept used car batteries; usually with a small core credit.
Winter: HHW sites stay on year-round Mon-Sat 7am-5pm hours; occasional weather closures aren't published in advance — call ahead during major snow events.
Utah is one of the few Western states without PaintCare — residents in SLC must rely solely on county HHW sites for paint disposal, unlike neighboring states CO (PaintCare) and OR (PaintCare).
The Great Salt Lake's receding shoreline has exposed old dump sites and raised environmental concerns about hazardous materials in former landfills — driving increased community awareness about proper HHW disposal.
