Curbside recycling in Utah County is typically opt-in. Provo Waste and Recycling Division offers biweekly blue-cart pickup accepting paper, cardboard, plastics #1 and #2 (bottles/jugs), aluminum, and tin cans. Plastics #3-#7 NOT accepted curbside in Provo since market changes post-2018 China sword policy. Orem through Republic Services accepts similar materials. Glass is NOT collected curbside anywhere in Utah County; residents must drop at Momentum Recycling or county glass dropoff bins (Provo Recreation Center parking lot, Orem Public Works yard). Contaminated bins containing plastic bags, food waste, or Styrofoam are tagged and skipped. Utah has no statewide recycling mandate. Multi-family properties receive commercial recycling service contracts separately.
Contaminated bins: tagged and skipped with no pickup that cycle. Repeat contamination: service suspension possible. Chronic violations: $25 to $100 citation.
