Other notes
- Fees are from the "Canyonlands Transfer Station 2026 Fee Schedule," effective September 2026.
- Source conflict: the transfer station web page lists Saturday 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. and closes Sundays and federal holidays, but the fee schedule says Saturdays are closed November-March.
- All loads must be covered and secured (Utah H.B. 53). Customers may be directed to another facility. Call 435-259-6314 before bringing large animal carcasses.
- Construction debris and yard waste can also go to the Moab Landfill on Sand Flats Road at lower rates.
