The Town of Rockville is considered a rural, residential, and agricultural community. Since its founding by Mormon pioneers in 1862 Rockville has maintained the integrity of its historical town plan and has been referred to by historians as "the last treasure in Utah".
The Town of Rockville is working with Washington County Solid Waste District to provide a recycling decision period this fall. Now is the best time for residents to choose how they would like to recycle as individual households. All residents will be offered a decision period from September 1 — November 30, 2020. This means you will be able to opt in or out of the BluCan curbside recycling service if you wish. Information is being provided to help you know how to change your status.
Those who don’t wish to change their current BluCan status do not need to do anything — your service status won’t change unless you change it.
Community bins will remain available for those who choose to take recyclables there instead of using curbside pickup.
Please note that the higher the rate of participation among residents, the more cost-effective curbside recycling will be. The Washington County Solid Waste Board has negotiated terms for a ten year contract with Republic Services to continue to collect the waste and recycling in Washington County.

Notice is hereby given that the Rockville Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, the 8th day of September 2020 at 6:00 p.m. via Zoom’s online teleconferencing portal to receive public input on the amendments to the Rockville Town Land Use Ordinances and maps and this meeting will have an anchor location at the Rockville Community Center Recreation Hall located at 43 E. Main Street where social distancing and masks will be required.
The goal of these amendments was to determine if there was anything in the Town’s Code or Ordinances that were not in compliance or alignment with current State and/or Federal Law. The Code needed to be modernized in order to comply with state statutory charges – particularly the “plain language” mandate.
The proposed Rockville Town Land Use Code is available online at

The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Land
has obtained a grant to remove invasive Russian Olive and Tamarisks from Rockville in 2020!
This is your opportunity to rid yourself of these invasive species at no cost to you!!!
If interested, forms are available in the Town Office.
Phase I will be contracted out within the next month and will be cut in March. This treatment is at no cost to the landowner (if they fall within the project boundary), and if funds are available one re-treatment will be conducted the following year. The treatment will be cutting Tamarisk and Russian Olive and spraying the stumps with herbicide immediately after to limit re-sprouting.
Phase II will be contracted in the fall. So any landowners who don't make the first round will have a chance in the fall to sign up.
Here are some informational pamphlets:
Tamarisk Pamphlet
Russian Olive Pamphlet
To see if your property is eligible, please contact Carrie Howard,
the Southwest Area Forester, at (435) 218-4629.
