Trans-Jordan Landfill

While unloading our dump trailer we ran into an issue with the control switch. I asked if it was possible to scratch it out with their backhoe and the employee Roger said that he could. After he had directed the trucks in line to where they should dump he got in the backhoe and drove over to where I was. He had a simple/quick liability form for me to sign on a tablet and then he carefully pulled the material out of our trailer in a very short amount of time. I was very impressed with the friendly interactions that I had with everyone that I spoke to including the scale house.

As the owner of a dumpster rental company I find myself making trips to the dump from time to time. I’ve used a lot of the dumps throughout Utah and Salt Lake County but had never been to this one. They’re a landfill nothing pretty or exciting about it. That said I had a great experiences here at the Trans-Jordan Landfill. Today’s trip I interacted with 5 employees and they were all friendly with me. As a first timer here I wasn’t certain which area of the dump I needed to take my load and they politely guided me to the right spot. There’s a tarp removal area which was nice to have and something I haven’t seen at the other landfills and dumps. Weigh in and weigh out was easy and quick. As with all the landfills and dumps in the area they charge double if your load isn’t tarped. This landfill also does not take cash so for some people that may be an issue. They had signs up stating their green waste program is no longer available. Overall I feel like this is a well run landfill and we will definitely use it again.

I went out several times to dump concrete by myself I do not know how to back up a trailer. The guys are fabulous out there and helped me just pull to the side so I had time to unload by myself. Dave even helped me one time to teach me how to back up the trailer… the guys are great!!!
