How trash day works in the Salt Lake area
3 min read
Collection day, which cans go out, and how holidays shift the schedule vary by city and neighborhood across the Salt Lake Valley. Here is the general picture and how a valet keeps up with it.
Schedules vary by city and street
Across Salt Lake, Davis, Tooele, and the surrounding counties, your collection day and whether recycling is weekly or every other week depend on your city and sometimes your exact street. Your hauler sets the schedule, and it is worth confirming your day when you move in.
Holidays and how a valet keeps up
Many areas push collection a day later during holiday weeks, which is easy to lose track of. A valet service tracks those holiday shifts for your area and adjusts automatically, so your cans still go out on the right day without you watching the calendar.
