Don’t Bag Your Recyclables

|by

Empty Water Bottles Before Recycling

|by

Recycling plastic water bottles or soda bottles is a great thing to do! Our machine, called an optical sorter uses a small air jet to separate these plastics from other material. But it ONLY works well if the bottles are empty. Bottles with fluid in them are heavier and the air jets just don’t have enough force to separate them. Watch the Video.

How To Safely Recycle Lithium Ion Batteries

|by

Lithium ion batteries are many times more powerful than an alkaline single-use battery — and much, much more dangerous if improperly disposed of. Lithium ion batteries are found in portable power tools such as drills, saws, and leaf blowers; and in electronics such as mobile phones, laptops, and tablets. Rechargeable batteries can explode or cause a fire if they are crushed or short circuited. Watch the Video.

"Wasatch Integrated operates a super clean facility offering full-service landfill, green waste, and household hazardous waste drop off as well as upcycled green waste product for sale. They really care about residents living around the landfill. They have worked tirelessly to mitigate odors inherent to landfills, have constructed a costly cover over some of the garbage, and operate a system to collect gas from the landfill which has helped control odors. They are willing to listen and do everything they can to be a good neighbor."

“I just turned seventy! I can honestly say that the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District landfill and I have grown up, side-by-side. During my youth a Saturday was not complete without a trip to the “dump” and being hefted up onto Mr. Jacques’ Caterpillar® dozer. Wasatch Integrated has brought the “dump” of my childhood into the 21st century, with state-of-the-art solid waste disposal, recycling, and re-use facilities. The newly constructed Material Recovery and Transfer Facility recycles many different types of waste materials and will be instrumental in preserving the landfill for future kids."
