Utah County cities require trash bins at curb with lids closed on pickup day. Provo City Code §8.08 and Orem City Code §8-2-8 require bins removed within 24 hours. 3 feet apart minimum.
Bin placement rules are codified in municipal code across Utah County. Provo City Code §8.08.080 requires bins at the curb or alley edge by 7 AM with lids fully closed, removed from curbside within 24 hours after collection. Orem City Code §8-2-8 parallels this with similar timing. Bins must be spaced at least 3 feet apart, 5 feet from mailboxes, parked vehicles, fire hydrants, and utility poles to allow hauler automated arms. Handles must face the house. Between pickup days, bins must be stored out of public view from the street (typically behind side yard fences or in garages). Violations are addressed through municipal code enforcement divisions.
Bins left past 24-hour window: warning first, then $25 to $100 per occurrence under Provo City Code §8.08.080. Improperly placed bins may be skipped by automated haulers.
