Full Breakdown

Eagle Mountain treats bulky waste, items too large or unsuitable for standard storage containers, separately from the weekly container pickup. 290 requires anyone storing bulky waste temporarily to do so in a way that doesn't create a health hazard, nuisance, fire hazard, rodent harborage, or litter, and specifically bars leaving an unattended or discarded ice box, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, or similar appliance outside without first removing or sealing any door or latch, a rule aimed squarely at preventing a hazard to children. 450 lets the city designate the time and place of collection, and a resident cannot place bulky waste at the curbside or roadside any earlier than one day before the scheduled collection date.

Bundles of small limbs, twigs, and shrubs too large for a regular container must be securely tied before being set out. The section then draws a hard line on what bulky-waste pickup will not take: it is unlawful to place construction and demolition waste, commercial waste, car bodies, tires, used oil, batteries, hazardous materials, rocks, brick, broken concrete, or dirt at the curbside or roadside for collection. 190. 630 if it isn't corrected.

Violations & Fines

Setting bulky waste at the curb more than one day before the scheduled collection date, leaving an unattended appliance outside without removing or sealing its doors, or placing banned material such as construction debris, tires, batteries, or hazardous waste at the curbside violates EMMC 8.05.290 and 8.05.450. The city issues written notice under EMMC 8.05.560, and an uncorrected violation is a Class B misdemeanor under EMMC 8.05.630, with fines set by the consolidated fee schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early can I put a couch or old appliance out for bulky pickup in Eagle Mountain?
No earlier than one day before your scheduled bulky waste collection date. EMMC 8.05.450 lets the city set the time and place for bulky collection, and puts an outer limit on how early residents can stage items at the curbside or roadside.
What can't I put out for bulky waste collection?
Construction and demolition waste, commercial waste, car bodies, tires, used oil, batteries, hazardous materials, rocks, brick, broken concrete, and dirt. EMMC 8.05.450 specifically makes it unlawful to place any of those materials at the curbside or roadside for collection, so they need to go to an authorized disposal facility instead.
Do I need to do anything special before storing an old refrigerator outside for pickup?
Yes. EMMC 8.05.290 requires removing or sealing any door or latch on a discarded ice box, refrigerator, freezer, washer, dryer, or similar appliance left outside, specifically to prevent it from becoming a hazard to children. The waste also has to be stored so it doesn't create a health hazard, nuisance, fire hazard, or rodent harborage.
