Summary
South Jordan does not collect couches, appliances or other bulk items in weekly curbside carts: residents must request and schedule a paid Special Service Waste Program pickup instead.
Special Service Waste Program: The Special Service Waste Program ("SSWP") involves waste that is not normally picked up weekly in City supplied solid waste or recycling containers or dumpsters. Items such as couches, appliances, large items, and new move in boxes may be picked up on an as requested and as scheduled basis. SSWP fees will be assessed based on the type and quantity of items, or as determined by the Director. SSWP fees will be paid at time of pick up, or may be added to the resident's Municipal utility bill. Neighborhood Dumpster Program: The Neighborhood Dumpster Program ("NDP") involves the delivery of a large waste dumpster to a specific property or neighborhood for a fee. This dumpster may be used for neighborhood cleanup projects. The Director may establish restrictions prohibiting the collection of tires, hazardous waste materials, and other materials as deemed lawful. Other Services: Service(s) not described elsewhere shall be charged at the hourly or daily rate approved by the Director for a truck and crew (hand loading) to load, transport, and dispose of solid waste or recyclables.

Full Breakdown
Under City Code § 7.05.030, large or move-in items that don't fit in the weekly solid waste or recycling containers go through the Special Service Waste Program (SSWP) rather than curbside collection. Couches, appliances, large items and new-move-in boxes are picked up on an as-requested, as-scheduled basis, not automatically. Fees are set by the type and quantity of items, or as the Public Works Director determines, and can be paid at pickup or added to the resident's municipal utility bill. Curbside collection separately excludes construction debris, car bodies and large metal pieces under § 7.02.050.
Violations & Fines
Setting bulk items at the curb without booking an SSWP pickup is an unlawful placement under § 7.01.050, and refuse left more than 20 days violates § 8.20.040's refuse-control limit, both enforceable as code violations by the city.
