• Hyde Park's code has no bulky item provision at all - searching the Hyde Park Municipal Code for "bulky" and for "mattress" returns no results in either case - and what it does have is a franchise rule with one opening in it. Chapter 10.40 of the Hyde Park Municipal Code, in Title 10, Fire, Health, Safety and Welfare, was adopted by Ordinance 2015-03 on May 13, 2015 and re-adopted by Ordinance 2023-11 on October 11, 2023, the amendment that brought Hyde Park into line with the Cache Waste Consortium contract. Section 10.40.030, "City Collector Granted Exclusive Franchise", provides that "no garbage or refuse shall be moved or hauled away or transported upon the streets or public ways of the municipality except by the municipality or its agent" and that "It is hereby to be unlawful for any person, except as permitted in this part, to haul or remove garbage or refuse in the municipality", while authorized commercial haulers "must apply for and receive permission to do so from the recorder/clerk." The opening follows immediately: "Nothing contained in this section shall preclude persons from hauling their own garbage, trash or community waste over the streets and alleys of the municipality in vehicles and containers approved by a sanitary inspector or such other personnel of the municipality as the governing body may authorize." Section 10.40.100, "Time And Place of Pickup", fixes the set-out window - refuse "must not be set out upon the street for collection prior to the evening of the day before collection and must be set out on the day of collection before the hour of collection designated by regulations of the governing body" - and requires that "All empty receptacles must be removed from the street as soon as practicable after being emptied, and in every case, must be removed from the street the same day they are emptied." Section 10.40.070 makes it unlawful "to accumulate garbage, or refuse or cause garbage or refuse to be deposited upon any street or ally or upon any premises" without permission, and 10.40.130, "Dumping Refuse Prohibited", covers deposits of refuse on any lot in the city. Source Not confirmed: The Hyde Park Municipal Code contains no bulky item, large item or special pickup provision; a search of the code for "bulky" and for "mattress" returned no results for either term on November 5, 2026. Not confirmed: Chapter 10.40 states no penalty amount for dumping under 10.40.130.
• Hyde Park puts itself between the resident and the hauler, which changes who a reader should call about a mattress. The city's Utilities page names Waste Management as the collector and then says, in terms, "Contact Hyde Park City at 435.563.6507 ext 16 for all waste management related questions", with a separate online form for reporting "Waste Management concerns" and another for "adding/removing trash, recycling, or green waste bins". City office hours are Monday through Thursday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., closed on Friday, at 113 E Center Street, Hyde Park, UT 84318. Hyde Park is one of the municipalities named in the Cache Waste Consortium service agreement, so its carts run under the Consortium's contract with Waste Management rather than under a Hyde Park contract. The one piece of genuinely local practice the city publishes concerns the green waste can in winter: "Green Waste is an optional service available from April 1-October 31, with weekly pickup on your regular garbage day. During the winter months, Waste Management will continue to empty green waste containers with regular trash service until Green Waste collection resumes each April." In other words a Hyde Park household keeps a third emptied container from November through March, which no neighboring town promises. What the city publishes nowhere is a bulky item pickup, an on-call large item collection, an annual clean-up or dumpster day, or a landfill pass or voucher. Hyde Park's news and events listing for 2026 carries no clean-up day of any kind. Source Not confirmed: Hyde Park publishes no monthly garbage rate that could be read. The city's online fee schedule, dated "Updated 7/10/2026", contains a single section, "F Fees Charged by Hyde Park City", which failed to load on November 5, 2026, returning "There was a problem loading section". Not confirmed: No bulky item fee is published, because no bulky item collection is published. Not confirmed: The winter green waste practice is stated on the city's utilities page but is not written into the Hyde Park Municipal Code.
