Curbside Recycling Program
The Tooele City Curbside Recycling Program began February 2017 to offer our residents the convenience of having their recyclable materials picked up with their regular garbage pick up every other week.
This service is available for residential customers who have a utility account with Tooele City.
When opted-in, residents are delivered a blue recycling receptacle which allows for plastics, metal, paper products and cardboard to be recycled. As of September 2018 all items must be free of foods and liquids prior to placing them in the recycling receptacle. Green waste and glass will not be recycled. Recently there have been some changes in recycling policies. As you may have read, China’s recent import policies are affecting what we can put in our blue recycling bins. Here in Utah, recyclers are being much more particular about what materials they take, and we all need to work together to recycle better. Most importantly, we cannot accept food waste or plastic bags! When your recycling is picked up, it is taken to a sorting facility and any sort of stretchy plastic jams up their machinery. If you use a plastic liner in your home’s recycling bin, please dump the contents into the recycling bin and then put the plastic bag into the trash. Food, yard waste, Styrofoam and glass are a big problem and cannot go into the recycling bins! Please help us keep our recycling program clean and affordable! If you have any further questions, you may contact customer service at ACE Disposal at 801.363.9995 or visit www.acedisposal.com.
