I see that most cities in Utah have a Hazardous Waste dump.
What kind of Hazardous Wastes are dumped in these cities?
Living in Nevada, is it cancerous wastes?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but most garbage dumps now accept household hazardous waste so that stuff doesn't go into the landfill or get poured down storm drains. So we're talking about paints, motor oil, garden chemicals, batteries etc.

There is a chemical weapons storage and disposal site in Tooele county.

I found a series of newspaper articles from 2001 on Toxic Utah.

I grew up there from 1978-2001 in the Bountiful/Salt Lake area. If that's where you're considering, you've got nothing to worry about.
