Summary
South Jordan requires every occupied home to sign up for city curbside refuse and recycling collection instead of self-hauling, unless the City itself rules curbside pickup unfeasible for that address.
The owner of a structure used for human habitation shall arrange with the City for refuse and recycling curbside collection at the structure according to City's curbside collection fees, procedures, and rules. Where the City determines that curbside collection is unfeasible for a structure, including for multi-family developments, the owner of that structure shall arrange alternate refuse collection methods consistent with this title.
Full Breakdown
Under section 7.02.010, every South Jordan structure used for human habitation must be signed up for the City's refuse and recycling curbside collection: owners can't simply skip service and self-haul. The only exception is where the City itself determines curbside pickup is unfeasible for a given structure, including some multi-family developments, in which case the owner must arrange an alternate collection method that still complies with the solid waste title. A related duty in section 7.01.060 caps how long waste can sit at the property between pickups: no more than 7 days for putrescible waste and 30 days for nonputrescible waste.
Violations & Fines
Not arranging required curbside service, or exceeding the 7-day (putrescible) / 30-day (nonputrescible) storage limits in section 7.01.060, is an infraction under South Jordan's default penalty rule, section 1.28.030.
