How do I find out when the next e-waste or HHW event is at this location?

Check the SLC Sustainability calendar at slc.gov/sustainability or call the Waste & Recycling Division at (801) 535-6999. Events are typically announced several weeks in advance and are free for all SLC residents.

Accepted: plastic containers (#1–#7), metal/aluminum cans, cardboard boxes (flattened), paper, magazines, cartons, and steel food cans. Not accepted in carts: glass (collected separately), plastic bags, styrofoam, food waste, electronics, or scrap metal.
