Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Management Facilities dispose of 75% of the commercial and residential
solid waste generated in Salt Lake County.
The landfill is comprised of 550 acres and has an
expected life of 25+ years based on an annual waste growth of 2% and diversion of waste through the Salt Lake Valley Transfer Station, 502 West 3300 South in South Salt Lake. The facilities are jointly owned by Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County.
The Salt Lake Valley Solid Waste Management Landfill Facility is the largest municipal solid
waste disposal facility in the State of Utah. An average of 500 to 700 commercial and citizen
vehicles enter the facility daily. At $22 per ton the Salt Lake Valley Landfill has one of the most
economical operations of any disposal facility along the Wasatch Front. The facility is totally self-
funded from user fees. NO tax dollars are used to subsidize the facility operations.
