Q: When did Salt Lake County Sanitation become Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District?
A: On January 1, 2013, the operations and employees of Salt Lake County Sanitation became Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District, which is a special service district similar to a sewer or water district. The change was made to give the cities and townships direct control over sanitation decisions for their residents. We are governed by a board made up of elected council members of Cottonwood Heights, Herriman, Holladay, Millcreek, Taylorsville, Murray, Sandy; the Metro Townships of Copperton, Emigration Canyon, Kearns, Magna, White City; and Salt Lake County.
