Based on the listings above, materials commonly handled in Salt Lake City include Cardboard, scrap metal, Electronics, Appliances, Glass. Browse the guides below for preparation tips, scrap values, and what's recyclable.
Salt Lake City runs curbside recycling through its blue cart, picked up every other week under the Sustainability Department (SLCgreen). The single most important local rule: glass does NOT go in the blue cart. Glass is handled separately through Momentum Recycling, either as a paid curbside subscription or free resident drop-off bins. Bigger items, hazardous waste, and dumping run through Salt Lake County at the Salt Lake Valley Landfill on California Avenue.
The blue cart takes cardboard and paper (newspaper, junk mail, office paper, magazines, phone books, paper tubes), plastic containers like milk jugs, bottles, cups, and yogurt tubs, aluminum cans, steel food cans, and drained aerosol cans. As of late 2025 the city also accepts paper coffee cups and plastic polypropylene soda cups. Rinse food and liquid out first, and never bag your recyclables in plastic garbage bags.
No. Glass is not accepted in the blue curbside cart. Salt Lake City contracts with Momentum Recycling for glass. You can sign up for optional curbside glass collection (a 35-gallon can, billed on your city water bill at $8.49 per month as of September 2025) or take bottles and jars to a free Momentum drop-off bin. Only empty glass bottles and jars are accepted, with lids and corks removed. No ceramics, Pyrex, windows, mirrors, light bulbs, or drinking glasses.
Salt Lake County runs Household Hazardous Waste collection, and disposal of normal household amounts is free for county residents. Drop-off is at the Salt Lake Valley Landfill (6030 W. California Ave.) and the collection center in Sandy, both open Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. They take paint, fuels, pesticides, cleaning chemicals, batteries, automotive fluids, aerosols, and fluorescent bulbs. Note: the county HHW centers are not currently accepting electronics, so for TVs, computers, and phones they point residents to retailer take-back (such as Best Buy) or manufacturer mail-in programs.
Use the city's Call 2 Haul program. If you have residential curbside garbage service, you get two scheduled at-home bulk pickups per year: one for bulk waste and one for green waste. Call 2 Haul collects furniture, mattresses, appliances, refrigerators, tires, electronic waste, and bulky yard waste. Some items are not accepted, so check the city's not-accepted list before you set anything out.
Utah has no bottle or can deposit (no five-cent return), so recycling cans and bottles happens through the blue cart, not a redemption center. For dumping, the Salt Lake Valley Landfill on California Avenue charges by weight or load, and cash or card customers without an account need a valid Salt Lake County ID or vehicle registration at the scales. Household hazardous waste itself is free for county residents.
