Please Do Not Bag Recyclables
Using the curbside recycling cart = a more sustainable future
If you live in Davis or Morgan Counties, and have a curbside recycling cart at your house, you will want to separate recycling and trash into the two separate carts for collection. This small action has a big impact on our communities.
The more we all learn about which items go in each cart, the more effective our combined recycling efforts will be. It is our goal—and the goal of each city in Davis and Morgan Counties— to divert as many recyclable materials as possible from the landfill to process at our Material Recovery Facility (MRF).
Thanks for using your curbside recycling cart and for helping to move Davis and Morgan Counties toward a more sustainable future.
If you do not have a curbside recycling cart, drop off your recyclables for free at the Davis Landfill Reuse Center. Check if your city has a curbside recycling program to sign up for at the bottom of our page. Search Earth 911 to find other drop-off locations for specific materials.

This will significantly reduce the number of cardboard boxes and other single-use packaging that comes along with online orders. You will also have fewer boxes to break down, and it’s a way to find and support local businesses. Woohoo!
This is a simple way to reduce single-use plastics by not using plastic bags and choosing produce without packaging.
Reusing items also helps reduce waste, such as reusing a cardboard box to ship something or cleaning the glass jar that you bought with spaghetti sauce and using it for overnight oats. There are lots of creative ways to reuse items.
Did you know that reducing food waste is one of the most impactful ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?! Roughly one-third of food is wasted!
