Local services and rules

Moving to Sandy: who to call and what the city asks.

Parking on Sandy's city streets is not allowed during a snow storm or during the 24 hours after the end of the storm, and police officers can cite residents for it, according to the city's snow information. Depending on the storm, it can be 12-18 hours after a storm ends before a plow enters a residential neighborhood.

Street rules and police dispatch

Blowing or pushing snow into any city street is not allowed. Noise ordinance complaints and vehicles parked on the street are handled by police dispatch at (801) 799-3000, per Sandy Code Enforcement.

A city dumpster can be placed on the street or on private property. In winter the resident may be required to place it in the driveway because of snow removal, according to the dumpster program.

Utility Billing and city water

The City provides water service to customers within Sandy City boundaries, and bills it through its Utility Billing division. To begin or end water, waste and other city utility service, the number is the Utility Billing office at (801) 568-7110.

Garbage and recycling carts

The city provides waste collection service to each single-family dwelling and duplex within Sandy City boundaries, as the same Utility Billing page states.

The base garbage service covers one 96-gallon blue waste can and one 96-gallon green recycle bin. Extra cans are arranged through Sandy City Utility Billing at (801) 568-7110. Garbage and recycling cans go out on the curb by 7:00 AM on pickup day, at least 2 feet apart.

Bulk waste pile, dumpster loans and mattress recycling

Sandy City runs a bulk waste program for city residents only, with one bulk waste pile per home. Items must be placed curbside no sooner than 72 hours before the scheduled collection date.

The program accepts mattresses, box springs, bed frames, furniture, appliances with the refrigerant removed and tagged, and water heaters. Items not on the list are not picked up.

Beyond the semi-annual bulk collection, a resident can get a 30 cubic yard dumpster delivered to the home up to two times a year for up to 72 hours, for a fee. The dumpster program is for residents only, not businesses or commercial contractors.

A mattress or box spring can also be recycled through Spring Back Utah for a fee.

The same center accepts residential e-waste (computers, monitors, televisions, radios and phones) free of charge.
