Summary
West Jordan's contracted hauler collects household solid waste, green waste, and recyclables only under an executed City contract, and City Code section 5-5-3(A) sets the deadline: your container must be at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the assigned collection day. If construction or another obstruction blocks your normal spot, the container moves to the nearest accessible point instead.
The solid waste container must be placed at curbside by seven o’clock (7:00) A.M. on the designated day of collection. In cases of construction in the curbside area or in cases of other obstructions, the solid waste container shall be placed for collection in the nearest accessible point of access to the regular point of collection.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: 2026 S-38: Code current through: Ord. 26-33, passed 6-23-2026).
Full Breakdown
West Jordan runs residential solid waste, green waste, and recyclables collection through a single City-contracted hauler rather than letting residents pick their own service or schedule; collection under section 5-5-2 happens only where a current executed contract with the City exists. " Miss that window and the crew has already passed. If construction work or another obstruction blocks the regular curb spot, the code does not simply skip the address: it requires the container to be moved to "the nearest accessible point of access to the regular point of collection" so pickup can still happen that day.
For the small number of single-family homes without direct access to a public street, section 5-5-3(A) lets the City Administrator arrange an alternate collection method, but caps the daily service fee at no more than what a standard single-family residence pays under the fee resolution adopted pursuant to section 5-5-4. Fees are not fixed dollar amounts in the code itself: the City Council sets them by resolution, with copies on file at the City Recorder's office for public inspection. Because the collection day is a service detail tied to the contracted route rather than a resident's personal choice, City Hall and the contracted hauler, not homeowners, control what specific weekday applies to a given address.
Violations & Fines
Missing the 7:00 a.m. cutoff does not carry its own fine: the crew simply will not stop, and a missed pickup must be rescheduled through the City. Code violations under Title 5 with no penalty of their own default to a Class B misdemeanor under section 1-14B-1, and unpaid collection fees can be pursued through all other remedies, legal and equitable, including remedies found in Title 16, per section 5-5-4(C).
