Local government entities want to motivate residents to do some spring yard and property cleanup and are willing to share in the cost. Free Dump Week is taking place April 22nd through April 29th. What exactly is Free Dump Week? Well the fees are waved for residential loads to the Uintah County Landfill and the Blue Bench Landfill. This means they are offering a full week and two Saturdays to get yards cleaned up and debris taken to the landfill with no cost to residents. All are urged to clean up around their own property. Uintah County reminds residents that this is for residential garbage only and does not include fridges. The Duchesne County announcement says that all yard waste and general cleanup is welcome but large cleanups like for buildings, cement, or tires need to be pre-approved by D/W Bluebench Landfill at 435-454-3430. Remember that all loads must be tarped and unsecured loads will be charged the regular rate. Loads must be covered and if they are not they do not qualify for Free Dump Week. Hazardous waste is also not permitted.
