EAGLE MOUNTAIN, Utah — April 16, 2025 — Spring has arrived, and with it comes an annual opportunity for Eagle Mountain residents to declutter and breathe new life into their homes and neighborhoods. Starting today, the city’s much-anticipated Spring Community Clean-Up is officially underway at Cory Wride Memorial Park and will continue through April 24.
For many, this event has become a cherished local tradition, providing a practical and community-oriented way to dispose of yard waste, e-waste, and light household trash. According to City Communications Manager Tyler Maffitt, it’s about more than just tidying up—it’s about building pride and connection.
“Offering dumpsters allows residents added convenience and provides a great community service,” says Maffitt. “We want folks to take advantage of this while it lasts.”
Dumpster Hours and Special Services
- April 16: 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM
- April 17-23: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
- April 24: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
A shred truck for secure document disposal will be available on April 19 from 10:00 AM to Noon, and electronic waste (e-waste) can be dropped off daily during dumpster hours.
Residents are urged to arrive early, as dumpsters may close before scheduled hours if they fill up.
What’s Allowed—and What’s Not – Items such as yard trimmings, small electronics, and general household debris are welcome. However, hazardous materials, paint, and animal remains are strictly prohibited. For oversized loads or excess waste, residents can use the Intermountain Regional Landfill in Fairfield, open April 18–24 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, except for early closure at 2:00 PM on April 20 and full closure on April 21.
Why It Matters – A clean community isn’t just about aesthetics. Studies show that well-maintained neighborhoods can lead to:
- Improved mental health and reduced stress
- Lower crime rates, as clean, cared-for areas deter vandalism and neglect
- Increased property values, benefiting homeowners and renters alike
- Greater community pride and cohesion, encouraging civic participation and mutual respect
By clearing away the clutter and taking responsibility for our shared environment, Eagle Mountain residents are not just throwing things out—they’re investing in a healthier, more connected future.
Eagle Mountain City encourages everyone to participate and make the most of this weeklong clean-up initiative. Responsible waste disposal isn’t just about convenience—it’s a cornerstone of a thriving community.
