1. Does the City have a Spring or Fall cleanup program?

The City does not have a curbside cleanup program.

The Green Waste Site is open year-round for disposal of lawn clipping, weeds, bushes, and garden debris. Each Spring, Ogden City residents can pick up two passes, allowing them to dispose of up to 400 pounds of non-green waste trash at the Weber County Transfer Station for free.

The Dial-a-Dumpster program is also a year-round program, allowing five residents to get together and fill out an application for placement of a 30-yard dumpster for two days of use to clean up the neighborhood.

2. Can you give me statistical information about Ogden City Refuse?

Ogden City Refuse crews work Tuesday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each of those days, there are seven garbage routes with the number of carts picked up, per route, averaging around 800. In addition to seven garbage routes, there are also five recycling routes each day with the number of carts picked up averaging around 700.

3. What are the reasons that my garbage or recycling can would not be emptied?

The cart will not be emptied if any of the following apply.
- If a cart is overfull.
- The lid won’t shut flat.

The City does offer a one-time, per year, go back. If a go back is needed, please call 801-629-8271.

4. What happens if I put unapproved materials in my garbage or recycling cart?

If unapproved, or prohibited materials are put into your garbage or recycling cart, the City may remove the cart(s), terminate your service, in whole or part.

If only recycling services are terminated, you will still receive regular garbage and refuse services, with no reduction in monthly charges, but will not be allowed to obtain another recycling cart for the following twelve months.

5. Does the green cart get emptied at the same time as the blue cart?

Separate trucks and drivers are used to pick up the garbage and recycling carts. Both carts need to be out by 6 a.m., according to City ordinance. However, they will be picked up at different times.

6. What do I do if my garbage or recycling can goes missing?

All garbage and recycling cans are property of Ogden City. Therefore, if your can goes missing, you must get a case number from the Ogden Police Dept. The non-emergency dispatch number is 801-629-8221. Once you have that case number, call 801-629-8271 (The Public Service Operations dept.) with that case number and a work order will be put in to have your cart replaced.

7. Where do I dispose of paint or gas?

These are considered hazardous materials and need to be taken out to the Weber County Transfer Station. They have a free drop-off on the 3rd Saturday of each month, between May and September.

Broken lids or wheels can be repaired. Should the body of the cart be cracked or leaking, the cart can be repaired or replaced by calling 801-629-8271. Carts are not replaced for cosmetic reasons, i.e. dirty, smelling badly, worn, etc.
