7-1-4. Residential solid waste collection .

(1) Except as provided herein, all residences shall be provided with mandatory solid waste collection, removal and disposal services and approved garbage containers by the county or its designated agent. All residential solid waste generated within the county shall be transported and delivered to a Tooele County designated and approved solid waste disposal facility.

(2) Except as permitted by this section, no residential solid waste shall be moved, hauled away or transported upon the streets except by the county, incorporated municipalities, or their designated agents.

(3) It is hereby declared to be unlawful for any person, except as permitted in this section, to haul or remove residential solid waste within or from the county. However, nothing contained in this section shall preclude persons from hauling their own residential solid waste over the streets or public ways to a county-designated solid waste disposal facility, provided that person is regularly paying the county or a municipality for collection services.

(4) If residential users located along the Deep Creek Mountain Range are not provided collection services by the county because of high costs in this remote area, such residential users shall be exempt from mandatory solid waste collection and the removal provisions of this chapter. However, each residential user in this remote area shall haul their own residential solid waste to a county-designated and approved landfill at least once each week and shall pay the same fees in the same manner as other residential users who are provided collection services and containers by the county. The higher costs to provide a separate landfill for these remote areas has been determined to provide sufficient justification to assess the same fee as other residential users without providing approved garbage containers and collection services.
