Salt Lake City, UT — Multifamily Recycling Compliance + Regional Bulk, HHW & Electronics Hub — Salt Lake Valley Landfill & Salt Lake County HHW
Salt Lake City has a mandatory business and multifamily recycling framework under
Salt Lake City Code § 9.08.200.
Covered generators averaging
four or more cubic yards of solid waste or recyclable items per week
generally must provide compliant diversion service unless an approved exemption applies.
[4][5]
For qualifying household-generated special waste and self-hauled bulky material,
the Salt Lake Valley Landfill and Salt Lake County household hazardous-waste system provide regional disposal options for
bulk furniture,
mattresses,
household hazardous waste and
qualifying household electronics.

Salt Lake City Mandatory Business & Multifamily Recycling
Mandate Type:
Mandatory recycling / diversion requirements for qualifying multifamily and nonresidential generators.
Applicability Threshold:
A generator averaging
four or more cubic yards of solid waste or recyclable items per week
is generally subject to § 9.08.200 unless an approved exemption applies.
[5]
Salt Lake City’s public guidance notes that four cubic yards is approximately eight 96-gallon curbside containers and may roughly correspond to a multifamily property with approximately 15 or more units.
That comparison is an estimate for public guidance—the
actual legal threshold is waste volume, not unit count.
[4]
- Authorized service or self-haul: A covered generator generally must subscribe to compliant recycling or green-waste service with an authorized hauler capable of meeting the required diversion standard, or complete and retain the applicable self-hauling certification. [5]
- Comparable convenience: Recycling containers must be available to occupants, employees or residents and be as convenient to use as refuse containers. [5]
- Collector access: The property must designate recycling-container areas accessible to the authorized hauler. [5]
- Signage: Required recycling areas must have appropriate signs identifying source-separated materials and collection procedures. [5]
- Resident / occupant education: Recycling information must be distributed within 14 days after commencement of recycling service and annually thereafter. [5]
- Covered containers: Recyclable materials must be placed in covered collection containers that satisfy applicable City requirements. [5]
- Service frequency: Recycling service provided by an authorized hauler must generally occur at least twice per month, or more frequently when required by contract, license or permit. [5]
- Property documentation: Waste and recycling service agreements and the property recycling plan must be available for inspection by the City. The recycling plan includes providers, service frequency, receiving facilities, container locations/types/sizes and resident or occupant education methods. [5]
Self-haul option: Salt Lake City Code allows a qualifying generator to use a compliant self-hauling approach instead of subscribing to recycling collection, provided the required self-hauling form is completed and retained onsite and the hauling complies with applicable law. [5]
Important § 9.08.200 Exemptions
The four-cubic-yard threshold does not mean every property at or near that volume is automatically required to implement the same recycling configuration. Salt Lake City Code contains specific exemptions, and exemption requests are subject to City review and approval. [5]
- Properties generating less than four cubic yards of combined solid waste and recyclable items per week.
- A generator that demonstrates to the City that it produces less than two cubic yards of recyclable material per week.
- A property for which an approved site review determines that there is inadequate space for a recycling container and sharing with an adjoining property is infeasible.
- A property where compliance would result in a zoning-code violation.
- Qualifying low-income housing, including tax-credit housing, Section 8 vouchers or subsidized housing as stated in the ordinance.
Property-manager action: Do not assume an exemption applies automatically. Where an exemption is needed, review the City’s current exemption process and retain the applicable approval documentation. [4][5]
Resident Recycling Concern / Compliance Reporting
Salt Lake City provides a reporting pathway for residents and customers who believe a qualifying apartment property or business does not provide the required recycling program.
[4][12]
A property should first be evaluated for the ordinance threshold and any approved exemption.
If a property appears subject to § 9.08.200, does not provide the required diversion service and does not have an approved exemption, residents may use the City’s current recycling-concern process.
Call 2 Haul: Important Multifamily Eligibility Limitation
Salt Lake City’s
Call 2 Haul
program provides two scheduled bulk-waste pickups per year to customers enrolled in the City’s residential curbside garbage service.
[3]
Larger multifamily properties that do not receive Salt Lake City residential curbside garbage service should not assume that Call 2 Haul is available.
Those properties generally need a property-specific bulk-disposal arrangement through the commercial waste provider, a private bulk/junk-removal service, donation/reuse options or self-haul.
Bulk Trash, Furniture & Mattresses: Salt Lake Valley Landfill
The Salt Lake Valley Landfill accepts qualifying self-hauled mixed trash and bulky materials subject to its current fee schedule and material restrictions.
[1][2]
Current $17 flat-rate category:
Qualifying hand-unloaded cars, SUVs, standard-bed pickups up to one ton and qualifying trailers are currently charged
$17 per load.
Other vehicles and mechanized loads may be charged by weight.
Special items carry additional fees.
[2]
Mattress / box spring:
The current landfill fee is
$18 per piece.
Residential customers are accepted, and business/commercial customers may use this item charge for six pieces or fewer under the current schedule.
Larger commercial mattress loads have separate handling options.
[2]
Apartment bulk-waste rule: Do not leave sofas, mattresses or move-out waste beside an apartment dumpster or enclosure unless property management and the authorized waste provider have expressly designated that location and pickup procedure. Property managers should maintain a written resident bulk-item process.
Household Hazardous Waste: Free Household Quantities for Salt Lake County Residents
Salt Lake County states that disposal of
common household amounts
of qualifying household hazardous waste is free for people who live in Salt Lake County.
[6]
Accepted household materials include qualifying paint, pesticides, fuels, automotive fluids, batteries, aerosols, fluorescent bulbs and other materials identified by the County.
[6]
Large quantities, drums and business-generated hazardous waste require different handling.
[6][7]
Apartment-management HHW limitation:
The free household program should not be treated as a commercial disposal program for apartment ownership, management companies, maintenance personnel, landscapers or contractors.
Unit-turn paint, maintenance chemicals, pool chemicals, landscaping products and other property-generated hazardous materials are business waste.
Salt Lake County provides a separate
business hazardous-waste program by appointment.
Eligible businesses pay disposal fees based on waste type and quantity.
[7]
No property-wide HHW collection assumption: Salt Lake County’s delivery instructions state that customers should not bring collected waste from community events. Property managers should therefore avoid assuming they may consolidate residents’ household hazardous waste into a property-generated collection load without approval. [6]
Electronics: Resident Household E-Waste vs. Property-Owned Electronics
Salt Lake County’s HHW facilities accept qualifying
electronic waste from Salt Lake County residents.
The County expressly states that it cannot accept business e-waste through that household program.
[6]
Data-bearing electronics:
Residents should securely erase data from hard drives and other data-storage devices before disposal.
[6]
Property-manager limitation:
Property-owned computers, office electronics, access-control equipment and other business-generated electronics should be handled through an appropriate commercial electronics-recycling or disposal provider rather than presented as resident household e-waste.
Salt Lake City Municipal Blue-Bin Rule: Glass Is Collected Separately
Salt Lake City’s municipal curbside program does
not
accept glass in standard blue recycling cans.
The City uses separate glass collection through Momentum Recycling.
[8]
Small multifamily properties that receive Salt Lake City curbside waste and recycling may qualify for the optional curbside glass program.
Other apartment residents may use qualifying public drop-off locations.
[8]
Private-hauler limitation:
A larger apartment property using a private authorized recycling hauler should follow the actual collector’s accepted-material list.
Do not automatically impose the municipal blue-bin glass rule on a private recycling stream if the collector accepts glass through another approved process.
Public glass drop-off limitation: Salt Lake City describes Salt Lake County public glass drop-off sites as resident-only. Property managers should not consolidate commercial or apartment-property glass into those resident bins without confirming eligibility. For a larger apartment community, consider a property-specific glass recycling service. [8]

- Additional locations: Use Momentum Recycling’s current glass-drop-off map and verify the specific location before traveling. [11]
Paint: Wet Latex & Oil-Based Paint vs. Empty or Dried Containers
Salt Lake County’s HHW facilities accept
oil-based and water-based (latex) paint, stain and varnish
under the County’s applicable household-waste rules.
[6]
Salt Lake County also states that its HHW facilities
cannot accept empty or dried latex-paint cans.
[6]
Residents should verify disposal instructions for an empty or fully dried latex-paint container with the property’s authorized waste provider or current local guidance.
Wet oil-based paint and other qualifying hazardous paint products should be directed to the County HHW program or another appropriately authorized disposal option.
Property-generated paint:
Unit-turn and maintenance paint generated by apartment operations is business waste and should follow Salt Lake County’s business hazardous-waste procedures or another authorized commercial pathway.
[7]
Dedicated HHW Collection Center — Sandy
Residents transporting qualifying household hazardous waste without an accompanying trash load may use the Salt Lake County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Center in Sandy.
[6]
Address:
8805 South 700 West, Sandy, UT 84070
Hours:
Monday–Saturday, 7:00 AM–5:00 PM; closed on Salt Lake County-observed holidays.
[6]
Common household quantities are generally free for Salt Lake County residents.
Business hazardous waste is accepted only through the applicable business process, by appointment and for a fee.
[6][7]
Property Manager Compliance Checklist — Salt Lake City

- Confirm waste volume: Determine whether the property averages four or more cubic yards of solid waste or recyclable material per week.
- Check exemptions: Determine whether the property qualifies for an exemption and retain City approval when an exemption is used.
- Use an authorized hauler or compliant self-haul: Maintain the applicable service agreement or required self-hauling documentation.
- Provide comparable recycling access: Recycling containers should be as convenient for residents or occupants to use as refuse containers.
- Maintain signage and education: Clearly identify recycling areas and provide the required information when service begins and annually thereafter.
- Maintain the recycling plan: Keep current provider names, service frequencies, receiving facilities, container locations/types/sizes and education methods available for inspection.
- Separate household and business HHW: Do not route unit-turn paint, maintenance chemicals or property-generated electronics through the free resident household program.

How National Doorstep Pickup Supports Salt Lake City Properties
Compliance is operational.
National Doorstep Pickup can help multifamily property managers structure doorstep trash and recycling collection, resident education, contamination controls, bulk-item procedures and documented service activity.
For covered Salt Lake City properties, National Doorstep Pickup can support convenient onsite recycling access by moving properly prepared resident-setout recyclable materials from apartment doors to property-designated recycling containers.
The property’s downstream authorized recycling collector remains responsible for removing recyclable material from the property under the applicable service arrangement.
Upstream service clarification:
National Doorstep Pickup’s ordinary valet-trash and doorstep-recycling service operates on private property upstream from curbside or commercial hauling.
It does not replace the authorized downstream waste or recycling hauler required for off-property transportation.
Special-waste limitation:
National Doorstep Pickup does not treat Salt Lake County’s free residential HHW or household e-waste programs as commercial disposal programs for apartment-management waste.
Property-generated hazardous materials and electronics should use the appropriate business/commercial disposal pathway.

Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake & Salt Lake County Multifamily Recycling Compliance
Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake apartment owners, asset managers and onsite teams: solid-waste and recycling requirements vary by jurisdiction. Salt Lake City has a specific Business & Multi-Family Recycling Ordinance under City Code § 9.08.200, while South Salt Lake, Salt Lake County and other incorporated valley cities maintain their own collection, utility, health, nuisance and property-management requirements.
Within the City of Salt Lake City, a generator averaging four or more cubic yards of solid waste or recyclable items per week is generally subject to § 9.08.200 unless an approved exemption applies. Covered generators must provide compliant diversion through an authorized hauler or permitted self-hauling arrangement, provide recycling access that is as convenient as refuse access, maintain required signage and education, and retain applicable service agreements and a recycling plan.
In South Salt Lake, the City’s published ACE Recycling & Disposal municipal cart program applies to qualifying single-family homes and duplexes. Multifamily property managers should verify the property's actual waste and recycling provider rather than assuming the City's residential cart program applies to an apartment community.
- Salt Lake City Compliance: Determine applicability based on actual weekly waste/recyclable volume and check for any approved exemption before changing service.
- Resident Convenience: Doorstep collection can support cleaner, more convenient waste and recycling operations when structured around the property's actual municipal and hauler requirements.
- Code-Smart Design: Container layouts, signage, education and service frequency can be structured to support § 9.08.200 requirements where applicable.
- Operational Compliance Support: National Doorstep Pickup can support hauler coordination, resident education, contamination controls and service documentation while ownership and management retain responsibility for legal compliance.

Salt Lake City § 9.08.200 — Important Exemptions
The four-cubic-yard threshold does not mean that every property at or near that level must use the same recycling configuration. Salt Lake City Code contains specific exemptions and City-review procedures.
- A generator producing less than four cubic yards of combined solid waste and recyclable items per week.
- A generator that demonstrates to the City that it produces less than two cubic yards of recyclable material per week.
- A property where an approved site review determines that adequate recycling-container space is unavailable and sharing with an adjoining property is infeasible.
- A property where compliance would create an applicable zoning-code conflict.
- Qualifying low-income housing, including applicable tax-credit, Section 8 or subsidized housing as defined by the ordinance.
Property Manager Action: Do not assume an exemption applies automatically. When relying on an exemption, follow the City's current process and retain the applicable approval or documentation.
Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake & Regional Multifamily Requirements
| City / Area | Recycling / Solid-Waste Status | Notes for Owners & Property Managers |
|---|---|---|
| Salt Lake City | Mandatory business and multifamily diversion requirements for qualifying generators. § 9.08.200 generally applies at four or more cubic yards of solid waste or recyclable items per week, unless an exemption applies. |
|
| South Salt Lake | No separate Salt Lake City-style cubic-yard multifamily recycling ordinance was identified in the current South Salt Lake materials reviewed. The City's published ACE municipal garbage/recycling cart program applies to qualifying single-family homes and duplexes. |
|
| Salt Lake County — Applicable County Jurisdiction | No countywide unit-based multifamily recycling mandate comparable to Salt Lake City § 9.08.200 was identified in the current County materials reviewed. Salt Lake County nevertheless has specific multifamily solid-waste storage and collection requirements. |
|
| West Valley City | Verify municipality individually. West Valley City maintains its own garbage and recycling program and municipal sanitation requirements. |

Salt Lake City Enforcement & Risk Snapshot
- Civil Enforcement: Salt Lake City Code Chapter 9.08 violations are handled through the City's civil administrative-enforcement framework rather than automatically as criminal misdemeanors.
- No Automatic Daily Fine Statement: The current § 9.08.115 text reviewed does not establish a general rule that every continuing § 9.08.200 violation automatically creates a new fine for each day. Do not represent noncompliance as generating an automatic daily penalty.
- No Universal § 9.08.200 Dollar Fine Published: The current § 9.08.115 penalty table identifies specific dollar schedules for certain Chapter 9.08 provisions but does not state a specific dollar amount for § 9.08.200. Confirm the applicable current citation or administrative-enforcement notice before stating a dollar penalty.
- Property vs. Hauler Duties: Property generators and authorized haulers have separate obligations. An authorized hauler is not automatically liable for the customer's failure to comply unless such liability is established through the applicable contract or City permit.
- City-Service Discontinuation: § 9.08.115 authorizes discontinuation of applicable City collection service for certain residences or eligible recycling customers under specified circumstances. This should not be generalized to every privately hauled multifamily property.
- Documentation: Maintain current service agreements, recycling-plan materials, container maps, resident education, signage records, service logs, contamination notices and corrective-action documentation.
Salt Lake County Portfolio Compliance Warning
Salt Lake City § 9.08.200 does not automatically apply to a property merely because it has a Salt Lake City mailing address or is marketed as part of the Salt Lake metro area.
South Salt Lake, West Valley City, Sandy, Murray, West Jordan, Midvale, Draper, Taylorsville and other municipalities maintain separate collection, utility, nuisance, development and property-maintenance frameworks.
Verify the exact parcel jurisdiction, waste-service account, municipal or private hauler, applicable recycling threshold or exemption, container configuration and resident eligibility before changing a multifamily program.
Salt Lake City & Salt Lake County Multifamily Recycling Compliance Checklist
| Task | Action / Requirement | Helpful Links |
|---|---|---|
| ☑ Confirm Jurisdiction & Waste Volume | Verify whether the property is legally inside Salt Lake City or another municipality. For Salt Lake City, determine whether the property averages four or more cubic yards of solid waste or recyclable items per week. Do not use apartment unit count as the legal applicability test. | SLC Business & Multi-Family Recycling |
| ☑ Check for an Exemption | Before treating the property as subject to the standard § 9.08.200 service requirements, evaluate the ordinance's exemptions, including recyclable-volume, site-space/zoning and qualifying low-income-housing provisions. Retain applicable City approval or documentation. | § 9.08.200 |
| ☑ Use an Authorized Hauler or Compliant Self-Haul | For a covered Salt Lake City property, use an appropriately authorized recycling provider capable of satisfying the applicable diversion requirements, or maintain the required documented self-hauling arrangement. | Recycling Program Information |
| ☑ Design Convenient Recycling Access | Ensure required recycling containers are available to residents or occupants and are as convenient to use as refuse containers. Coordinate container locations with hauler access, property layout, fire access and applicable development requirements. | Property site plans and applicable municipal development requirements. |
| ☑ Maintain Signage & Education | Provide applicable source-separation signage. Salt Lake City requires recycling information to be distributed within 14 days after service commencement and annually thereafter. Move-in recycling education may also be used as an operational best practice. | Maintain copies of resident and staff education materials. |
| ☑ Maintain the Recycling Plan | Keep the applicable recycling plan and service agreements available for inspection. The plan should accurately reflect providers, collection frequency, receiving facilities, container locations/types/sizes and education methods. | Store with vendor agreements and property compliance files. |
| ☑ Meet County Multifamily Waste Standards Where Applicable | In applicable Salt Lake County jurisdiction, apartment and multiple-dwelling waste must be properly containerized, covered or enclosed and removed at least weekly, with more frequent service when needed to prevent nuisance or adverse health conditions. | Salt Lake County Code Chapter 9.56 |
| ☑ Separate Resident & Property-Generated Special Waste | Do not treat resident household HHW or e-waste programs as automatic commercial disposal pathways for apartment-maintenance chemicals, unit-turn paint, pool chemicals or property-owned electronics. Use the applicable commercial or business-waste process. | Salt Lake County HHW |
| ☑ Document Service & Corrective Action | Maintain service logs, Proof of Pickup® records, contamination notices, photographs, container maps, resident education, vendor contracts and corrective-action history. Organized documentation can assist property management during complaints, inspections and internal owner reviews. | Proof of Pickup® |
