In the Heber Valley & Wasatch County zone
Basement loads from Wasatch County go to the transfer station at 2015 West 3000 South in Heber City, which charges $56 per ton with a $20 minimum for a tarped or strapped load. Wasatch County has no household hazardous waste program of its own, so paint and chemicals need another drop-off. Since November 1, 2022, the station has told licensed contractors to take their loads elsewhere, so a hauled load may go to Ace Intermountain Recycling in Heber City instead; the fee is billed at cost either way.

What 24/7 Express Handyman Service does on site
- Carries boxes, bins, old furniture and shelving up the basement stairs and out to the truck
- Sorts the load into keep, donate, recycle and landfill piles as it comes out, so nothing you want leaves by mistake
- Sweeps the cleared floor and takes down freestanding shelving units that are going with the load
How it works
- Walk-through of the basement, with photos, to agree on what stays, what is donated and what is hauled
- Paint, solvents, pesticides, propane and batteries are set aside for you to take to a household hazardous waste drop-off
- Carry-out, sorting and loading, then a sweep of the cleared floor
- Referred out: standing water or leaks go to a licensed plumber, and heavy mold growth goes to a mold remediation company before hauling
What happens next
- The written scope and price come first; disposal is billed at cost from the landfill or transfer-station receipt, and nothing leaves the basement until you approve the list.
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved and keep every receipt; 24/7 Express Handyman Service provides an itemised invoice your insurer may ask for. The dispatch fee and job cost are paid by you on the day.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
