Cheapest
Uintah County Landfill self-haul disposal
Waste generated inside Uintah County only. The county states: "We cannot accept waste generated outside of the county, unless previous arrangements have been made with the county commission." The adopted fee schedule carries one standing exception, a Daggett County rate of $30.00 per ton. Special waste is handled case by case, with fees set between the county commission and the landfill administrator.
The last date published for this was Apr 21, 2026, so it has passed.
Conditions and source
The county's fee schedule, enacted by Ordinance No. 04-15-2026 O1 on April 21, 2026, charges $5.00 for a small pick-up or trailer load and $10.00 for a pick up and trailer load, with dump trucks at $40.00 and a side dump at $60.00. Every load rate doubles plus $10.00 if the load arrives un-tarped, so an uncovered small load is $20.00. Commercial compacted loads are $20.00 per ton; roll-off containers run $30.00 for 10 yards to $70.00 for 40 yards; appliances containing freon are $20.00 each and the tire fee is $2.00. The county cannot set up charge accounts, and pre-pay ticket books at $100.00, $400.00 or $500.00, and punch cards at $50.00, are sold at the landfill or at the Uintah County Clerk-Auditor's office, 147 E Main, Vernal, (435) 781-5363. The main site is at 2801 E 500 N, Vernal, open to the public Monday through Saturday 8:00AM to 5:00PM, at (435) 789-6018; a second county site at Lapoint is open Monday and Wednesday 9:00AM to 3:00PM and Saturday 9:00AM to 5:00PM. A free used oil tank is available to do-it-yourself oil changers, but no antifreeze, diesel, gasoline, solvents or other liquids are taken.
- $5 — "Small pick-up or trailer loads" $5.00 per load, from the landfill fee schedule enacted by Uintah County Ordinance No. 04-15-2026 O1 on April 21, 2026. Charged per load, not per item; the schedule has no mattress line.
- $10 — "Pick up and trailer load" $10.00 per load under the same ordinance. The county does not define where a small pick-up or trailer load ends and this one begins.
- Plus $20 — Surcharge for an uncovered load: "Un-tarped loads double normal fee plus $10.00". A small pick-up or trailer load that arrives un-tarped is $20.00 rather than $5.00, and a pick up and trailer load is $30.00.
Not confirmed: Neither the landfill page nor the adopted fee schedule names mattresses, box springs, furniture or any bulky household item, so acceptance of a mattress is not established and the $5.00 small load rate is the only published price that could apply.
Not confirmed: The ordinance does not define the line between a $5.00 "Small pick-up or trailer load" and a $10.00 "Pick up and trailer load", so which applies to a pickup carrying a mattress is not knowable in advance.
Not confirmed: The county does not say what the Lapoint site accepts or whether the same rates apply there; state records describe it as a Class IV site, which ordinarily excludes household waste.
Not confirmed: No outcome is published: the county does not say whether anything taken at either site is recycled.
Not confirmed: No payment methods or card surcharge are published, beyond the statement that charge accounts cannot be opened.

What Uintah County offers
Established for the county as a whole, so it applies across Vernal and its neighbors.
- Uintah County collects nothing from households. The sidebar on its Landfill department page is the county's full list of offices and departments — Assessor, Attorney, Cemetery, Clerk / Auditor, Commissioners, Communications, Community Development, Economic Development, Emergency Management, Facilities Management, GIS, Human Resources, Jail, Landfill, Public Defender, Public Lands, Purchasing and Grants, Recorder, Roads, Sheriff's Office, Surveyor, Tourism & Events, Treasurer, Uintah Conference Center and Western Park — and the Landfill is the only waste function in it. The department's own page describes disposal only: gate hours at Vernal and Lapoint, pre-pay ticket books, a used oil tank and case-by-case special waste. The county's adopted fee schedule points the same way: the only container lines in it are trash baskets and roll-off containers priced as tipping fees at the gate, not as a collection route. There is no curbside service, no bulky item or large item pickup, no booking, no voucher and no county clean-up day published anywhere by Uintah County. For a household with a mattress the county's answer is to bring it to the landfill, covered, for five dollars. Source Not confirmed: The county publishes no list of licensed or franchised haulers, so a resident without a vehicle is given no county-published route to the landfill. Not confirmed: Whether Vernal or any other town in Uintah County runs its own collection or bulky pickup was not researched here; that is a city-level question answered on the city's page. Not confirmed: No county-wide furniture bank, reuse program or mattress recycler is named anywhere on the county's site.
- Not an option: The one large charity resale operation in Uintah County will not take a mattress. Deseret Industries runs a thrift store and donation center in Vernal, given on its own store page as 1070 West Highway #40, Vernal, Utah 84078, phone (435) 580-7278, with store and donation hours of Monday through Saturday, 9am to 6pm, closed Sunday. Deseret Industries' donation page says it accepts "most donations" and then publishes a list of what it will not take, whose first group is headed "Beds" and reads "Beds", "Mattresses", "Foundations". Tires, large appliances, chemicals, paint and broken items are refused in the same list. Donors are told "no appointment is necessary" and to "pull up to the drive-thru during donation hours", which "may close early if the center reaches capacity", and Deseret Industries does not collect donations from homes. A Uintah County household with a usable mattress therefore has no established county-level donation route, and the county's only recycling handout, dated April 2013, is the sole other place the county points donors. Source Not confirmed: The donation page prefaces its refusal list with "The following list is not comprehensive" and does not say whether a store may make an exception. Not confirmed: The page never uses the words "box spring"; "Foundations" is the closest published term and is not defined. Not confirmed: The store page's holiday hours list runs only from 2020 to 2022, so the published hours for holidays are stale even though the weekly hours are current. Not confirmed: No other charity or furniture bank serving the whole of Uintah County publishes a mattress policy that could be read.

- Say if the mattress is wet, stained, or has any sign of pests — that is the usual reason one is turned away.
- Ask what the total will be. Box springs, stairs, and extra items are often charged separately.
- Check you qualify. Many sites serve only residents of their own city or county.
