Provo Code §9.28 and Orem Code §8-2 require trash and recycling bins to be stored out of street view except on collection day. Bins may be placed curbside after 6 PM the day before pickup and retrieved by the end of pickup day.
Provo Municipal Code §9.28 (Solid Waste) and Orem City Code §8-2 (Collection of Solid Waste) require residential trash and recycling cans — typically 95-gallon carts provided by each city — to be stored out of public view between collection days. Acceptable storage is inside a garage, behind the house, or behind a solid 4-foot+ screen such as a fence or approved enclosure. Bins may be placed at the curb after 6 PM the day before collection and must be returned to storage by the end of collection day (Provo) or within 12 hours of collection (Orem). Lids must be closed; overflowing bins violate nuisance rules under Utah Code §10-11-1. Unincorporated Utah County uses the Utah County Land Use Ordinance and contracts with private haulers (Republic, Waste Management); residents must follow hauler placement rules. Commercial dumpsters require screening per Provo Code §14.34 and Orem Code §22. HOAs in Traverse Mountain, Daybreak-adjacent Lehi, and Saratoga Springs often have stricter rules requiring bins hidden at all times except collection hours.
First offense: written warning from Provo Neighborhood Services or Orem Code Enforcement. Subsequent violations: $25-$100 per occurrence (Provo Code §9.28). Chronic violations may escalate to a nuisance abatement action with $500+ fines under Utah Code §10-11-1.
