Logan, UT Trash & Recycling: Yard Waste Collection (2026)

Logan Municipal Code § 8.38.020(B) bars any person from placing, depositing or allowing refuse on his own premises, other than green waste, unless the use is tied to a lawfully situated, licensed and permitted business. Subsection (C) applies the same ban to another person's premises, then adds a separate sentence for green waste: nobody can place or deposit green waste on another person's premises without the express permission of the owner or agent. Dumping clippings onto a neighbor's lot or a property you do not control is unlawful unless that permission exists.

The definition that gives the carve-out its scope sits in § 8.32.010. Green waste is a recyclable refuse collected and delivered specifically for the purpose of composting, including yard trimmings, six foot (6') and under tree branches, Christmas trees, and leaves. The same chapter lists rubbish, which includes yard clippings, among the refuse acceptable for collection by the responsible authority (§ 8.32.120(C)). Refuse service must be available at least once per week (§ 8.32.150). Household refuse goes in an authorized container on the curb in front of the residence no more than twenty four (24) hours before the established collection day, and empty containers come off the street before the end of the collection day (§ 8.32.160). Refuse piled on top of, next to, or overflowing a container is overloaded, and overloading can bring service restrictions.

Sorting rules apply as well. Section 8.38.040(B) makes it unlawful for anyone not authorized by the responsible authority to put other materials into a container designated for green waste by labeling or container color, and § 8.38.050(F) forbids putting rocks or other debris into a landfill area designated for grass clippings or branches. The responsible authority is the department or agency the mayor appoints to enforce chapter 8.32, and § 8.38.060 sends violations of chapter 8.38 into the notice, enforcement, hearing and appeal steps of §§ 8.32.060 through 8.32.090.
