The South Utah Valley Solid Waste District (SUVSWD) is a special service district in Utah County that handles municipal solid waste, household hazardous waste, and recycling.
The district’s current transfer station opened in 1990 and handled the municipal solid waste and recycling initiatives for the communities of Provo, Spanish Fork, Springville, Mapleton, Salem, Goshen, and Woodland Hills. Due to rapid population growth and concerns about the facility’s location, the district proposed an updated and expanded transfer station in Spanish Fork. The district’s Dry Creek Transfer Station is the latest environmental recovery facility for the south end of Utah County.
Galloway collaborated with Forsgren Associates, Inc., to oversee the design and worked with the general contractor for the construction. The facility includes a tipping floor and was specifically designed around three large compactors, where all the trash and recycling are loaded. The new facility features a 108,130-sf warehouse, a 3,155-sf maintenance building, a 5,895-sf administration building, a 3,070-sf household hazardous waste building, and a 410-sf scale house.
Galloway provided architectural design, interior design, and landscape architecture services for this project.
