• Farr West City contracts its collection out and publishes no bulky-item pickup at all. The city's Garbage Service page states that Econo Waste provides solid waste collection for all of Farr West City and directs pickup or dumping questions to Econo Waste at 801-627-2680, with cans ordered through the city at 801-731-4187. Black cans are collected weekly and blue cans every other week. The city dropped recycling collection outright: effective September 5, 2024 Farr West City no longer participates in recycled material collection, and the blue cans are now used for solid waste, the page saying that no Weber County facility accepts residential recycling. The page's monthly rates run $11.55 for a black can and $7.68 for a blue can, with a replacement can at $50. The page sets out no bulky-item, large-item or special pickup, publishes no clean-up week or dumpster day, and names no fee for collecting anything that does not fit a can. For green waste the city sends residents out of town, recommending that they contact Plain City for a punch pass to use its green waste landfill at 2700 North 5100 West. Source Not confirmed: The page gives two different blue-can figures, $7.68 a month on the fee schedule and $7.35 a month in the FAQ, and the discrepancy is unresolved. Not confirmed: Neither the city nor Econo Waste publishes a price or a procedure for collecting an item too large for a can, so whether a Farr West household can buy a special pickup at all is not established. Not confirmed: The green waste route the city recommends is a Plain City facility, and no mattress or household-waste policy for it is published.
• The Farr West city code caps what a collection receptacle may weigh and keeps everything else off the street. Section 8.04.020 of the Farr West City Code requires every owner, lessee or occupant to keep suitable receptacles for garbage and other refuse, and provides that 'No such receptacle shall be filled to exceed sixty (60) pounds in weight, including the weight of such receptacle', and that waste 'must be placed in rainproof and flyproof receptacles, with proper covers or in plastic bags'. Section 8.04.040 makes it unlawful to place or deposit on any public street, alley or park in Farr West City any 'rubbish, garbage, debris, grass cuttings, leaves, tree limbs, branches, sticks, stones, junk, cast off clothing, papers, printed matter, dirt or other discarded thing or matter incident to house cleaning or yard cleaning, except on regular garbage collection days, and except in receptacles as herein set forth.' Section 8.04.060 makes it unlawful to collect, haul or dispose of garbage, refuse or similar wastes within the city without a license from the city council, and section 8.04.070 bars a hauler from depositing such matter 'at any place except a dumping ground as authorized by Weber County or Farr West City'. A violation of the chapter is a class B misdemeanor under section 8.04.130. The chapter provides for no bulky-item collection, and the 60-pound cap and the covered-receptacle requirement between them mean a mattress has no lawful place at a Farr West curb. Source Not confirmed: The chapter names no mattress and no bulky item, so the exclusion rests on the 60-pound receptacle cap and the rule that nothing may be set on the street outside a receptacle. Not confirmed: Section 8.04.130 sets a class B misdemeanor and no fine figure, and no penalty schedule for illegal dumping was found.
