Helping Secure Our Children's Future:

Allied Waste Services, in partnership with the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), contributes over $425,000 annually to Utah Schools. The ultimate goal of this partnership is to increase contributions by directing as much available landfill volumes into this program as possible. The revenues generated by SITLA have an increasingly significant impact on Utah public education. These revenues provide an annual payout to every public school. School Community Councils determine the use of the funds according to their school's needs.
What are Utah school trust lands?

When Utah was granted statehood on January 4, 1896, the federal government gave the new state parcels of land to be managed in trust in order to provide financial support for public education. Public Schools that benefit from these lands are called beneficiaries. The lands are called trust lands and are spread throughout the state.

From time to time trust lands are sold. In fact, more than one-half of the original land grant has been sold, much of it during the first 35 years following statehood. Interestingly, about 30 percent of all private land in Utah was originally trust land.

Now, more than 100 years since statehood, the trust consists of two portfolios: (1) the real estate portfolio which is the remaining 3.4 million acres of trust land, managed by the Trust Lands Administration; and (2) the financial portfolio which is the money from the management and sales of that land managed by the
State Treasurer.

The objective is to successfully manage both portfolios to provide financial support for our schools. Successful management of Utah's trust lands means working as partners with our beneficiaries, the governor and the legislature, other state agencies, local communities and the public at large.

How do trust lands benefit Utah's school children?

The Trust Lands Administration works with local communities to build value for Utah's schoolchildren. Cash generated by both trust land operations and trust land sales is transferred to the permanent State School Fund. By doing so, the endowment to the public schools increases each year. Investment income (interest and dividends) from the permanent fund is distributed to the schools each year for local academic needs. The distribution is primarily based on the number of students at each school.

How does Allied Waste generate revenue for schools?

Allied Waste Services and SITLA entered into a lease agreement. This agreement allows Allied Waste Services to operate a fully functional, Class V permitted, state-of-the-art landfill on school land in Tooele County. Allied Waste, through the lease agreement, proudly contributes a percentage of landfill revenues to SITLA. Increased volumes to the landfill leads to increased revenues, which in turn means more funding for our schools.

Conservation of trust lands:

Allied Waste Services and SITLA are committed to being cautious and far-sighted stewards of the land. Allied Waste Services operates over 210 landfills, 240 transfer stations and 78 recycling facilities nationwide. This experience along with our corporate mission to "develop a company dedicated to excellence, environmental responsibility, ethical behavior," makes Allied Waste Services a professional choice to oversee the landfill operations on trust lands.
