Salt Lake City, Utah
A street drop in Salt Lake City can take up to three permits, and the barricades have to light up. Haulers also register with the city and report on C&D jobs. Here is the short version, with the city's own pages linked.
City rules are from October 2026, from Salt Lake City MyStreet: Dumpsters and moving containers and 6 other sources. Rules and fees change, so confirm with the city before you place a can in the street.
Reflective tape alone does not meet the rule here. Every street can needs four lighted Type 1 barricades, and the city does not hand them out. Put a line in the project's access notes, like "street drop, four lighted barricades," so the driver loads them before leaving the yard.
Salt Lake City asks the hauler, not only the contractor, for a post-project report on C&D jobs. In 2025 the city reviewed 157 plans, and the average reported diversion was 66%. When every load has a ticket number, net tons, and destination on the project, the report is a matter of adding them up.
One national vendor says Salt Lake City does not allow dumpsters on arterial streets. We could not confirm it with the city. Check the street before you promise a curb drop, and use Street View on the placement map to see what you are dealing with.
The rules don't change because you have software. Keeping track of them does.
Log the permit number, who issued it, and the start and end dates on the project. If the permit ends before the scheduled pickup, the project tells you before the city does.
Place the can on the satellite map at its real size, mark the door side, and add access notes. The driver sees the same thing on their next stop.
Yes. A can on the road shoulder needs a Traffic Control Permit, and you may also need a Public Way Permit from Engineering and a Parking Permit at meters or in permit zones. Every can needs four lighted Type 1 barricades. Apply through the Citizen Access Portal. The city does not publish fees or lead times.
Register under the Business & Multi-Family Recycling Ordinance. The fee is $315 a year, and you file quarterly reports. The city's FAQ says you also need a Salt Lake County Health Department permit.
Projects with a Construction Waste Management Plan aim to recycle or reuse 55% of their waste. The hauler sends a report after the project.
Yes, on the Pro and Elite plans. Drivers log the dump ticket number, net tons, destination, and a photo on each project. You still write the report for the city yourself.
