• Green waste must be cut to no longer than 5 feet in length to fit into our compactor. 
• Please bundle if possible. It is important to keep loose debris off the street and out of the gutters.
• Note: Trees in the park strip are City trees. It is unlawful to alter, remove, or prune City-owned trees for disposal through Call 2 Haul or any time of the year. Instead, please contact Salt Lake City Urban Forestry at (801) 972-7818 to submit a request for SLC’s professional arborists to service your park strip tree.

Bushes should be cut and placed in the brown compost containers. 

• We’ll discuss your unique needs when you call to schedule your collection.
• If needed, you can request 1-2 additional brown compost containers for a large volume of miscellaneous green waste items, such as hedge trimmings, leaves, or bushes.

Electronic waste such as TVs, computers, printers, office equipment, mobile phones, stereos, etc.

Electronic waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the U.S. It’s important to keep it out of landfills where it can leach toxins into the environment. The valuable metals in electronic waste can also be used for new items, reducing the amount of virgin material that is mined or produced.

Up to four (4) tires.

• Let us recycle your tires!
• NO large truck tires are accepted.

Glass items

• Please ensure glass items like doors, aquariums, TVs, and other fragile items are visible and containerized if possible, to prevent breakage and ensure safety for Call 2 Haul operators and street users. 

Small, miscellaneous items should go into your weekly containers.

• Otherwise, a large volume of small items needs to be in a box or bag, with a maximum weight of 60 pounds per bag or box. Please keep miscellaneous trash off the street.

Call 2 Haul is not a “pile” program. Rather, it is for disposing of large, bulky items.

• Loose, small items are not permitted unless bagged or boxed.

No amount of dirt, sod, rocks, concrete, or asphalt is permitted.

• These loose, heavy items should be fed into your weekly garbage container. Only fill your curbside container 25% full with these items at a time to avoid breaking it. Alternatively, a private hauler may be used.

Tree stumps or trees over 12 inches in diameter are not permitted.

• Please use a private hauler for this material.
