Summary
Lehi requires solid waste and green waste to be removed from every private residence at least once a week, and twice a week from markets, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and similar businesses. The city or its contracted hauler bills every property for the service under a council-set fee schedule.
Removal of solid waste and green waste from the premises shall be made at least once a week from private residences and businesses. The following types of businesses are required to have solid waste removed at least twice a week: all meat, fish, game and vegetable markets, restaurants, boarding houses, hotels, hospitals and other like businesses.
Full Breakdown
" This sits inside Title 5, Chapter 1 (Solid Waste), which makes weekly collection mandatory for every residential property in the city under section 5-1-2, whether the hauling is done directly by the city or by a contractor the city hires. Fees for that mandatory service, along with recycling and green waste collection, are set by the city council and published in the city's consolidated fee schedule under section 5-1-13. A property cannot opt out of service and dispose of its own waste; section 5-1-4 separately bars burying or dumping solid waste anywhere within city limits, including in a lot, street, alley or waterway.
Because solid waste cannot be allowed to accumulate on a lot for more than a week under section 5-1-5, the weekly schedule is the outer limit on how long trash can sit even between pickups.
Violations & Fines
Failing to have solid waste removed on the required weekly (or twice-weekly commercial) schedule is a violation of the solid waste chapter, punishable as a class C misdemeanor under section 5-1-14, subject to the section 1-4-1 penalty scale of up to $750 for an individual and $1,000 for a corporation, with continued noncompliance billed as a separate offense each day.
