OCTOBER UPDATES

Fall Leaf Pickup

As the temperatures cool down and we begin fall, WFWRD will begin its seasonal fall leaf pickup service. Starting Oct. 15, residents can pick up leaf bags at the Taylorsville Library (4870 S. 2700 West) for no additional charge. The district requests that residents take only one roll of leaf bags per household due to limited supplies.

You can take your full leaf bags to the Valley Ball Complex (5100 S. 2700 West) or Vista Park (5000 S. 2055 West) and place them in the designated trailers.

Please do not dump garbage or other items at these or other locations and keep leaves and other yard waste out of recycle cans.

Sustainable Halloween Guide

With spooky season here, Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District wants to give you the tools to succeed when it comes to Halloween waste and recycling. Decorations such as spider web décor, string lights, plastic pumpkins and yard signs are not recyclable in your blue recycling cans. Instead, save decorations for next year or take them to your local thrift store for re-use.

Candy wrappers and candy containers are also not recyclable so throw them in your trash can. Try repurposing an item for trick-ortreating containers, like an old pillowcase or re-useable grocery bag, instead of buying plastic.

Pumpkins, food and other organic matter are not recyclable, however, pumpkins and old fruits and veggies can be thrown in your green curbside can if you have one. If you don’t have one and would like one, subscribe to the district’s green waste collection program at wasatchfrontwaste.org.
