SLCRO §607.1005 permits residential backyard composting countywide if located ≥3 ft behind the main residential structure, screened from neighbors near property lines, and managed to prevent odors, rodents, and leachate runoff.
Permitted compost materials: leaves, grass clippings, yard/garden trimmings, vegetable scraps. Prohibited: meat scraps, bones, fatty foods (cheese, oils), and pet waste. Compost piles cannot be located in natural waterways or man-made stormwater channels. Approved methods (turning, layering) prevent leachate from migrating onto neighboring properties.
Nuisance abatement under §602.050; up to $1,000 fine if odor or pests violate neighbors' peace.
