RIVERTON IN 4TH PLACE IN SALT LAKE COUNTY FOR CENSUS PARTICIPATION...HELP US GET TO 1ST PLACE
At 61.4% of households responding to the US Census so far, Riverton only trails South Jordan (62.3%), Sandy (61.6%), and White City (61.6%) for response rate in Salt Lake County.

Just under 40% of Riverton households have not yet filled out their 2020 Census. Those haven’t yet taken the Census are encouraged to do so as soon as possible to help us get to 1st place in the county! It’s simple, easy and only takes about 10 minutes. Please also encourage your family, friends and neighbors in Riverton to complete the Census.

Local rivalry aside, the Census is a critical tool that will measure Riverton’s growth, determine political representation and future allocation of state and federal resources in our community.

TEMPORARY DUMPSTER PROGRAM TO CONTINUE EVERY SATURDAY IN APRIL; NEW DETAILS ANNOUNCED
Due to the landfill closure to the general public, Riverton City has initiated a temporary dumpster program for residents to use! Dumpsters will be available every Saturday in April from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Canyonview Park , Centennial Park , Monarch Meadows Park and Riverton City Park . The program was very successful last Saturday, so lines and wait times got long at times. To ensure a smooth process moving forward, a number of updates have been made.

UPDATES FROM LAST WEEK:
  • The Riverton Rodeo Arena will be the location to dump tree branches, limbs and stumps. Tree branches, limbs and stumps will not be accepted at other locations. The regular dumping station at the Rodeo Arena will move to the south parking lot at Riverton City Park (near the veterans memorial).
  • Cardboard recycling will be available at all four regular dumping locations. Those dumping are asked to keep cardboard separate from other items so it may be recycled. Cardboard boxes must be broken down prior to dumping.
  • Mattresses and box springs will no longer be accepted.
  • Proof of Riverton residency is required and will be checked (e.g., driver’s license, utility bill).
  • Due to COVID-19 restrictions, Riverton City staff will not be available to help unload.

  • Maintain Social Distancing at All Times
  • For Riverton Resident Use Only
  • No Business or Commercial Dumping
