More about Local Guides

Every transfer station and landfill has its own list of accepted and banned items, its own fees, and its own hours. Mattresses, tires, appliances with refrigerant, and hazardous waste are handled differently almost everywhere. Knowing the local rules before you load the truck saves you the fee, the fuel, and the turnaround at the gate.

The guides below map out disposal in the areas GoHaulStrong covers, starting with Davis County, so you can decide whether to make the run yourself or let a crew handle it. When it is easier to hand it off, we know where every kind of item is supposed to go.

Frequently asked questions

What can you not dump at a Utah landfill or transfer station?

Commonly restricted items include tires, appliances containing refrigerant, electronics, and hazardous materials like paint, solvents, and chemicals. These route through recycling or household hazardous waste programs rather than the regular landfill.

Do I need to be a resident to use the county transfer station?

Many Utah transfer stations, including the Wasatch Integrated facility serving Davis County, are set up for local residents and may ask for proof of residency. Always confirm current hours, fees, and any residency rules before you drive over.

Is it worth hauling junk to the dump myself?

If you own a truck and have a small, simple load, a dump run can save money. Once items are heavy, restricted, or numerous, the fuel, disposal fees, and labor often make a single junk removal visit the better deal.
