Clearfield, Sunset, and Syracuse in Utah to Implement Automatic Green Waste, Recycling Programs

SEATTLE (Waste Advantage): In an effort to provide environmentally friendly disposal options, promote sustainability and prolong the life of the local landfill, three Davis County cities — Clearfield, Sunset and Syracuse — are implementing automatic, citywide green waste and recycling programs.

Households in Clearfield will be enrolled in the city’s new green waste program, which begins next month and will run during the spring and summer. “By choosing to participate in the green waste program, residents are helping to extend the lifespan of our local landfill by diverting organic materials to be composted. We thank our residents for their efforts to increase waste diversion in our community,” a Clearfield City statement read.

“It was the residents who prompted the creation of the green waste program. The city council received multiple requests for a green waste program, and we’re excited to answer the needs of our community. It is admirable that Clearfield citizens want to extend the life of the landfill by diverting waste.”
