HOME ABOUT US INFORMATION & FAQ RATES RECYCLE SERVICES TOURS & EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT COMMERCIAL CONTACT US INFORMATION & FAQ Why does my load for disposal need to be tarped? What if I only have dirt, concrete, or items that won’t fly away? In order to maintain our Conditional Use Permit from South Jordan City we are required to enforce ALL loads coming to the landfill are tarped and secured. The State of Utah also has a similar requirement (code here). These requirements / laws are put into place to ensure that flying debris do not cause safety issues on our roadways as well as keep the cities clean from unwanted garbage that can leave uncovered loads. What Type Of Material / Waste is Not Accepted Trans-Jordan DOES NOT accept the following items: Asbestos Dead Animals Liquid Loads Septic Loads Unopened drums (All drums must have the top completely removed and contents removed for possible acceptance) Any item, or part of an item, that has been registered. Examples: Vehicles, Trailers, Camp Trailers, Motorcycles, ATVs, Boats, etc. These items must be taken to a Licensed Dismantler for disposal. You can find a list of dismantlers at mvp.tax.utah.gov/_/#1 under the “Dealer business directory search” link and then choose to look for Dismantlers. Do You Accept Mattresses?
