Other notes
- Fees are from the Uintah County fee schedule adopted by Ordinance No. 04-15-2026 O1 (April 2026), which took effect 15 days after enactment. Un-tarped loads pay double the normal fee plus $10.00.
- The landfill cannot set up charge accounts. Pre-pay ticket books are sold at the landfill or the Uintah County Clerk-Auditor's office, 147 E Main, Vernal (435-781-5363).
- Special waste is handled case by case, with fees set by the County Commission and the landfill manager.
- Cut drilling line, cable and slickline wire into lengths of 10 feet or less; it wraps around landfill equipment.
- The county page gives hours for the Lapoint landfill but not its address.
