BULK WASTE PROGRAM GUIDELINES

The 2008 spring bulk waste collection will begin around March 17 and continue through the end of May. All residents will be receiving a bright yellow card in the mail around the first of March. The front of the card will show your pickup date.

  • Place waste on the curb no later than 7:00 a.m. on your scheduled day. We ask that you put your waste on the street no sooner than 2 days prior to your collection date.
  • We ask that residents place all green waste (branches, shrubs, etc) in one pile so that it can be mulched. Place all other waste in another pile at least 2 feet away from green waste. In addition, don’t park vehicles within15 feet of either pile.
  • We will not accept:  Rocks, concrete, gravel, dirt, or sod.  Any construction debris such as sheetrock, glass, roofing materials, tile, bricks, or fence posts with concrete.  Vehicle parts, tires, or propane tanks.  Oil, gas, batteries, paint, flammable, toxic or hazardous materials (for disposal of Household Hazardous Waste, call 313-6697 or 974-6902).
  • Material, including tree limbs and stumps should not exceed 4 feet in length or 18 inches in diameter. Items exceeding this may not be collected.
  • Loose material such as leaves, twigs, pine needles, and wood chips should be placed in trash bags or boxes.  These items may also be placed inside your blue garbage container for regular weekly collection.
  • Items containing freon (refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners) must have the chemical removed by a professional and a copy of the receipt attached to the item.
  • Lawn mowers and snow blowers must have the oil and gasoline removed.  These actions must be completed before the items will be accepted at the landfill.
  • 55-gallon containers must be emptied and have the tops removed.
  • Recycle items that can be reused at a local charity. 
  • Scavenging through piles is not permitted! 
  • If you see illegal dumping, please get the license plate number and contact Sandy City Code Enforcement at 568-7254 or the Police Department at 840-4000.
