National Waste and Recycling Worker’s Day
On June 16, Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District celebrated National Waste and Recycling Workers Day. Every year during the week of June 17, waste and recycling workers are recognized and celebrated. During this special week of celebration, WFWRD joins other organizations to thank the men and women who work daily to keep our Utah communities clean. Do you know a waste and recycling worker? Give them a special thank you for all of their hard work.
Fireworks Disposal
The summer holidays are here and fireworks and barbeques are common ways to celebrate. WFWRD reminds all residents that reworks and re pit/barbeque ashes must be completely cooled before placing them in the garbage can. Smoldering reworks or embers will melt the can and create a larger re hazard on waste trucks. Please consult the United Fire Authority for information on reworks restrictions, dates and times for legal discharge and re prevention tips.
Trailer Rental Program
As a reminder, WFWRD has a trailer rental service as a means for residents to have their bulk waste and green waste hauled away. A bulk waste trailer is $175, and a green waste trailer is $45. There are additional disposal fees for mattresses ($15 each piece), refrigerators ($12 each), and tires ($3 each). Please visit wasatchfrontwaste. org/trailer-rental for more details and to rent a trailer.
Continuous Flow May Be Costing You Money
Are either your landscape sprinkler stop-and-waste valve or sprinkler valves leaking? Does your toilet tank continue to fill time after time? Is the kitchen sink doing that drip, drip, drip thing?
If you received a notice in the message box on your bill, it means the water meter has registered a continuous ow of water to your property for more than 15 consecutive days. This may indicate a leak in your system, small or large, that is increasing your usage. Take the time this summer to nd and repair any leaks in your plumbing system, which will help you save water and money.
Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
