South Utah Valley Solid Waste Transfer Station

The Transfer Station opened it’s doors in February of 1990.  Designed by: HDR Engineering, this state of the art transfer station was the first of it’s kind built in the state of Utah.  Designed with growth in mind, the transfer station was originally designed to handle over 250 tons of waste per day. Today SUVSWD transfer station is handling over 600 tons per day. With the population growth over the last 10 years SUVSWD purchased a second compactor to stay ahead of the explosive growth in the valley. With the additional compactor the transfer station will now be able to handle over 900 tons a day.

Transfer Stations are most cost-effective when they are located in the right area. The use of a transfer station reduces labor cost, with crews spending less time driving and more time collecting waste. With this it also lowers cost on your city’s fleet management maintenance on their garbage trucks that pick up waste in your areas.
