"Wasatch Integrated operates a super clean facility offering full-service landfill, green waste, and household hazardous waste drop off as well as upcycled green waste product for sale. They really care about residents living around the landfill. They have worked tirelessly to mitigate odors inherent to landfills, have constructed a costly cover over some of the garbage, and operate a system to collect gas from the landfill which has helped control odors. They are willing to listen and do everything they can to be a good neighbor."

“I just turned seventy! I can honestly say that the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District landfill and I have grown up, side-by-side. During my youth a Saturday was not complete without a trip to the “dump” and being hefted up onto Mr. Jacques’ Caterpillar® dozer. Wasatch Integrated has brought the “dump” of my childhood into the 21st century, with state-of-the-art solid waste disposal, recycling, and re-use facilities. The newly constructed Material Recovery and Transfer Facility recycles many different types of waste materials and will be instrumental in preserving the landfill for future kids."
