Intermountain Regional Landfill

What Intermountain Regional Landfill does

Intermountain Regional Landfill (IRL) is a privately held, locally owned waste disposal facility founded in 2011 and located at 800 S Allen Ranch Road in Fairfield, Utah, west of Eagle Mountain. The company operates a single state-of-the-art landfill equipped with a four-layer, high-density geo-synthetic, felt and mesh liner system approved by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality and EPA, designed to prevent leachate from reaching the community water supply. In 2023, IRL obtained CERCLA certification, qualifying the facility to partner with federal authorities and contractors for disposal of waste from Superfund sites — a regulatory credential few regional landfills hold.

IRL serves three customer segments: residential individuals, commercial contractors, and municipal entities across Utah, Davis, and Salt Lake Counties. Accepted waste streams include municipal solid waste, construction and demolition debris, clean dirt, concrete and asphalt, woodwaste and greenwaste, household hazardous waste (residential only), and petroleum contaminated soil classified as non-hazardous solid waste. The Eagle Mountain City partnership provides residents with two courtesy landfill passes per year covering 6 cubic yards of general waste, functioning as a civic-anchored customer acquisition channel.

The business model is transaction-based with no recurring subscription component. Residential loads start at $15 for an average pickup load, with tiered pricing for special items (mattresses and box springs at $25 each, refrigerators with freon at $25, televisions and monitors at $5 each, tires at $5-$10). Commercial and municipal rates are quote-based and vary by load size and waste type, handled directly through Operations Manager Brian Alba. The company has no institutional funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and operates with a lean team of 6 employees led by owner Rob Richards, a 20-plus year waste industry veteran and former co-founder of Metro Waste and District Manager for Waste Management in Utah County.
