Can I bring computers to the Landfill?

Yes, computers are accepted at the regular rate.  However, computers are not recycled at the Landfill, so we strongly encourage citizens to take them to an electronics recycler such as:

• Guaranteed Recycling Xperts (GRX), (801) 386-2533
• Lucency Corp., (801) 364-4733
• Stone Castle Recycling, (801) 731-9444
