Atlas Disposal of Utah, LLC is a leading waste management company specializing in environmental solutions across California, Utah, and Arizona, founded in March 1998. Established in response to California’s recycling mandates, Atlas has rapidly evolved into one of the region's fastest-growing waste and recycling companies. With a strong commitment to the principles of People, Planet, and Prosperity—the Triple Bottom Line—Atlas focuses on providing meaningful services that contribute positively to the environment and local communities.
The company prides itself on being independent, which grants it the flexibility to innovate and adapt its services according to community needs. Atlas Disposal values dependability, delivering sustainable waste solutions while maintaining a customer-first approach. Their local customer service team embodies this ethos, ensuring clients receive attentive and personalized assistance.
In addition to traditional waste management, Atlas Disposal launched a significant initiative in 2013 called ReFuel, which established the nation’s first commercial fueling facility for carbon-negative, renewable energy derived from food waste. This initiative not only supports the company's fleet of eco-friendly trucks but also creates a network for community vehicles to utilize renewable natural gas—further demonstrating Atlas’s commitment to sustainable practices.
The company has expanded its operations thoughtfully over the years, opening a regional headquarters in Salt Lake City in 2018, and later broadening its reach to the Phoenix area in 2021 through the acquisition of Pyramid Services. Notably, Atlas returned to its roots in 2025 by reintroducing residential services to Rancho Cordova, reaffirming its dedication to the areas it serves. Overall, Atlas Disposal embodies the belief that by focusing on environmental stewardship and community engagement, it can greatly influence the sustainability of waste management practices.
