Logan, UT Trash & Recycling: Dumpster Rules (2026)

Section 8.32.160(B) is the placement rule for commercial customers, and it is written around size. It applies where a business uses authorized refuse containers designed for placement at the curb or on the street, which the code puts at normally 100 gallons or less. Those containers go out at the time and place the responsible authority designates, not at a time the business picks. After the container is emptied it comes off the street before the end of the collection day, and none stays on any street longer than twenty four (24) hours after being emptied.

Subsection (C) applies to every container, including business ones. Refuse has to sit in the container so the lid can be reasonably closed. Excess refuse on top of, next to, or overflowing from the container is overloaded, and a business that overloads can face service restrictions or other action under § 8.32.070.

Who hauls is a separate question. Under § 8.32.140 the responsible authority collects acceptable refuse from business and industrial establishments unless a permitted private collector handles them. Anyone in the business of refuse collection or disposal needs a permit from the responsible authority under § 8.32.040, on top of any title 5 business license, unless acting under contract with Cache County service area 1 or the city. The code defines that business as regular hauling, meaning a frequency of more than four (4) times per year. Permits expire and are renewable annually.

Hauling equipment is regulated too. Section 8.32.180 requires collection vehicles to have enclosed bodies or suitable provision for covering the body, and vehicles carrying garbage must have watertight, metal bodies of easily cleanable construction. Section 8.32.130(B) keeps construction and demolition debris out of standard collection except by special arrangement with the responsible authority.
