Summary

Weber County charges $5.00 per load to drop off clean grass and leaves under the Green Waste Tipping Fee in County Code Section 16-2-9, but a contaminated load loses that flat rate and is billed at $30.00 per ton instead. The county's Solid Waste Management Division composts the material and resells the finished mulch and compost.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Weber County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.
