See agenda below residents are simply tossing plastic and paper into the trash." Piling Up, Katz, 3/7/19. In Millcreek, a separate entity--the Wasatch Front Waste & Recycling District up all of our trash and recycling. They want to know if you want to continue the recycling program. For many years, the has collected recyclables curbside each week. During this new recycling era, has not curtailed collections. Instead, their focus has been on reducing contamination of the materials we recycle. They feel that the fees paid by residents should be spent responsibly, so they work hard to ensure that what we put into our blue cans is actually recycled or reused. How clean is clean enough? Check that out below. Nevertheless, the fees for processing recycling have been steadily increasing-- as high as $68.00 per ton in 2019. The landfill charges far less--only $32.85 per ton, though those costs are also rising. The has projected a cost increase of $1.50 per home for recycling and $.75 per month to dispose of materials at the landfill. Their question is whether we all want to pay $1.50 to continue the recycling program, which would be an extra $0.75 over the cost of sending the recycling materials to the landfill. Click on the button below to take the (anonymous) survey do you still support recycling services, or would you prefer the materials go to the landfill? The district is anxious to hear from all of us. How clean is clean enough? Does anything drip or leak out of your recycled item? If yes, let it drip elsewhere before recycling. Do not run your recyclables in the dishwasher. One good wipe with a paper towel or dishrag is good enough for containers. Think, if what’s still in your recyclables can smear or soil paper recyclables, then it’s too dirty to recycle. 2019 Recycling Survey ---PAGE BREAK--- 7/12/2019 Curbside recycling in Millcreek may be at risk of being discontinued 3/11 Use common sense.

Many Millcreek residents have participated in our ongoing discussions regarding whether we want Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) in our city. The Millcreek Planning Department has put together a FAQ sheet based on the questions, comments, and concerns that have frequently been brought up by Millcreek residents. Much of the discussion has been based on a Housing Study we had prepared when we were working on the General Plan, and a presentation by certified planners on their opinions about where ADUs belong and why. Murray and Salt Lake City allow ADUs, and we've been studying their ordinances. Click here and then click on the topic to access all of these materials. The CIty has not determined yet whether to permit ADUs, nor has it prepared a draft ordinance yet. While we have an idea of what such an ordinance might look like, we want public comment to have an impact on whether we should permit or regulate ADUs. We want to make sure that we address any concerns that residents may have. Click on the button below to fill out a short survey on ADUs. We also encourage you to attend one of our future open houses to further collaborate and ask questions.

Recycling Tip Plastic bags cause significant issues with the equipment at recycling facilities, jamming up the machines and requiring the entire facility to halt operations so the plastic film can be removed by hand. Please remember, DO NOT put any plastic bags in your recycling bin. Other non-recyclable plastic materials includes: Ziploc bags, produce bags, garbage bags, bubble wrap, and cling wrap. These materials can be recycled through a different process. So instead of putting them in your blue bin, take them back to your local grocery store. Most grocery stores will accept these plastics.
