Who Do I Call for Trash, Power and the Library in the Avenues?

How do I get rid of bulky items or yard waste?
Salt Lake City picks up one load of bulky items and one load of green waste a year, at no extra charge. Call 2 Haul at 801-535-6953, weekdays 8 to 5, and the city gives you a date. Put it out no more than 24 hours before. Glass recycling at the curb is $8.69 a month.
Where is the library?
The Corinne & Jack Sweet Branch Library is at 455 F St, at 9th Ave. Call 801-594-8651. It is open Monday to Thursday 10 to 8, Friday and Saturday 10 to 6, and closed Sunday. There is free parking north of the building, free wi-fi, and a public meeting room.
How do I find out what is changing in the neighborhood?
Go to the Greater Avenues Community Council. It holds a monthly community meeting, usually on a Wednesday at 6 PM, at the Sweet Branch Library and on Zoom. Meetings are open to the public. Check avenuescouncil.org for the next date; the Zoom link goes up by 5 PM that day. The meetings are also on my free Avenues calendar.
When are property taxes due?
The 2026 property tax bill is due November 30. If you think the county has your home's value wrong, the Salt Lake County Assessor explains your options. Anything not paid by November 30 becomes late on January 1.
Where is the nearest emergency room?
Two are open 24 hours: the LDS Hospital emergency room at 8th Ave and C St (main line 801-408-1100), and the University of Utah Hospital emergency room at 50 N Medical Dr. For something that cannot wait but is not an emergency, InstaCare walk-in urgent care is at 389 S 900 E (385-282-2400).
You can find all of these anytime on my Avenues page.
