Blue Bag Recycling Program

Blue Bag Recycling Available to Tooele County Disposal Customers

What is the "Blue-Bag" Program?

The blue-bag program is a voluntary and simple recycling program available to Tooele County disposal customers. Residents are encouraged to place all dry, clean recyclable materials in a special blue plastic bag. The bag should then be placed inside your garbage can on your normal garbage service day. The recyclables in the blue-bag will then be collected and processed at the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) located at the Tooele County Landfill 2830 South Bauer Road, Tooele.

Why was the "blue-bag" program selected over other curbside programs?

The blue-bag program is easier, more convenient and provides for the recycling of more materials than other types of curbside programs that use separate plastic bins or containers. Other programs require that residents sort materials into a particular bin or container, which can be more time-consuming and occupy more storage space in the home. In addition, this program allows the garbage hauler to use their existing trucks to collect recyclable materials at the same time the household garbage is picked up, thus reducing cost and traffic.

What can be placed in the “blue-bag”?

  • Magazines and newspaper
  • Plastic containers #1 and # 2 only
  • Aluminum cans, Bi-metal cans
  • Steel cans i.e. vegetables and fruit “tin” cans
  • Cardboard and paper

Examples of items not accepted in blue-bags:

Aluminum foil, contaminated plastic, ceramics, crystal, window panes, pharmaceutical bottles, light bulbs, drinking glasses, mirrors, Pyrex, dishes, wax or plastic coated cartons.

Where can I get the “blue-bags”?

Macy's - Tooele
Wal Mart - Tooele
Soelberg's

Hometown Hardware - Grantsville.
