Bulky Waste Collection
Bulky Waste is defined as large waste items or material that does not fit in the roll-out household container and requires special handling such as yard waste, tree limbs, shrub trimmings, appliances not containing Freon, furniture, carpet and padding, sofas, mattresses, and water heaters.
The bulky waste service is provided once-a-month to all residents city-wide, on either a year-round basis for Tooele or from March through November, weather permitting for North Salt Lake. Collection is coordinated with the resident’s regular garbage collection day.

Summary of Regulations and Guidelines
Bulky waste items are loaded by hand into a rear-loading waste collection vehicle. To make it easier to pick-up the bulky waste material and help prevent littering, the items must be bagged, boxed, or bundled according to established rules and guidelines. All items must be cut or broken down to a 4 ft length or smaller and must not weigh more than 70lbs. The collection crew has the discretion to refuse any items or materials that do not meet the guidelines outlined below.
Yard Waste
You can bag, box, or bundle excess yard waste (no grass clippings). Boxes must be 30 gallons or smaller (size of a standard garbage can). Please do not set boxes out in wet weather. The bottoms may fall out, creating a mess. Properly prepared items must be placed on the curb by 7:00 a.m., free of obstruction, on the scheduled collection day as advertised. Please ensure easy and safe access to your brush and bulky waste piles.
Grass Clippings
You can dispose of your grass clippings by putting them in a plastic bag and/or dumping them on top of the other garbage in your regular roll-out garbage container for weekly collection. Grass clippings are NOT TO BE PUT OUT for bulky waste collection.
Branches & Shrub Trimmings
Branches and limbs (4 inches or less in diameter) must be tied in bundles less than 18 inches in thickness. They cannot be longer than 5 ft. and must weigh less than 75 lbs. per bundle. Shrub trimmings and other yard waste will be collected if properly contained. Loose piles of yard waste and trimmings WILL NOT BE COLLECTED.
Appliances & Furniture
Appliances that DO NOT contain Freon will be collected (refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, or water coolers). Appliances that have had the Freon removed by a certified technician will be collected if documentation is attached. Furniture, carpet and padding, sofas, mattresses, and water heaters are also collected.
Construction or Demolition Debris
Debris from major construction and demolition projects WILL NOT BE COLLECTED with the bulky waste service. If it is leftovers from last weekend’s home improvement or remodeling project, we will take it if it is boxed, bagged, or bundled. Disposal of major construction or demolition debris requires special arrangements. Ace Disposal can arrange this service for you.
Household Garbage
Every day, household garbage, such as food waste and packaging, must be disposed of in your regular roll-out garbage container for weekly collection. The health department requires the collection of such material on a weekly basis. If you consistently generate more garbage then your container will hold, a second container may be needed. The additional container may be requested through the City for an extra charge.
Hazardous Materials
Flammable material such as oil, gas, or paint products and hazardous or toxic waste such as solvents, motor oil, transmission fluid, antifreeze, tires, batteries, pesticides, fertilizers, and other chemicals are considered to be household hazardous waste and WILL NOT BE COLLECTED. You may call your local city/county health department for information regarding the disposal of these hazardous materials.
Non-Collectable Items
Commercial, industrial, and business waste is prohibited. We DO NOT COLLECT contractor-produced waste of any kind. Dirt, rocks, sod, bricks, broken concrete, major construction or demolition debris, household hazardous waste, and 55 gallon drums WILL NOT BE COLLECTED.

Holiday Schedule
The holiday schedule for picking up bulky waste is the same as for regular garbage collection service. If your collection day falls on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Day or after the holiday during the same week, it will be collected one day later for the remainder of the week.
