Provo, UT — Voluntary Recycling — Regional Compliance Hub: Trash + Electronics + HHW (Mon–Sat) — South Utah Valley Solid Waste District (SUVSWD) Transfer Station (Spanish Fork)

Status: Voluntary Recycling. If your apartment community does not provide convenient recycling (or you need a compliant way to dispose of banned items), the South Utah Valley Solid Waste District (SUVSWD) Transfer Station is the region’s primary “Compliance Hub” for trash/bulk loads, electronics (TVs/computers), and household hazardous waste (HHW). [1][2]

Primary facility: SUVSWD Transfer Station (Dry Creek) — 518 W 3450 N, Spanish Fork, UT 84660 . [2]

Why This Works (Apartment “Plan B” for Recycling + Legal Disposal for TVs/Computers)

Electronics compliance: SUVSWD publishes disposal pricing for TVs and computer monitors and lists electronics as accepted at the transfer station. [3][4]

Bulk trash / furniture: This is also the local self-haul solution for trash and bulky loads that don’t belong beside apartment dumpsters. Standard tipping/disposal fees apply—always check the current fee schedule before you drive. [3]

  • Address: 518 W 3450 N, Spanish Fork, UT 84660[2]
  • Hours: Monday–Saturday (7:00 AM–6:00 PM)[5]
  • Electronics fees (example): TVs (up to 27" and 28"+) listed at $20; computer monitors listed at $10 (see current schedule)[3]
  • Residential limits: Electronics are subject to household quantity limits (commercial electronics not accepted)[4]

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW): Available at the Transfer Station (Mon–Sat)

HHW solution: SUVSWD states the HHW facility is located at the transfer station and is open during regular operating hours (Monday–Saturday). There is no charge for HHW drop-off in household quantities, subject to container/quantity rules. [1]

Examples: paint/varnish products, pesticides/lawn chemicals, aerosols, antifreeze, motor oil, automotive products, and certain batteries are listed as accepted HHW. [1]

Electronics: TVs & Computers (Fees Apply — Verify Before You Go)

TVs and computers: SUVSWD lists TVs, computer monitors, and other e-waste as accepted with posted pricing. Fees can change—use the current rate schedule before loading your vehicle. [3][1]

Resident tip: If you’re bringing multiple items, confirm household quantity limits at the scale house to avoid being turned away. [4]

The “Glass” Rule (Utah County): Don’t Put Glass in Blue Bins — Use a Momentum Drop-Off

Practical rule: In much of Utah, glass is separated from typical mixed recycling streams because many material recovery facilities do not accept it in standard processing. [9]

The solution: Use dedicated glass drop-off containers (Momentum Recycling drop-off network). [7][10]

  • Provo glass drop-off (City-listed): 50 S 300 W (Old City Hall site — glass dumpster with color dividers)[6]
  • Momentum Provo location (map listing): Covey Center for the Arts area (see Momentum map details for exact placement / directions)[7]
  • Orem/Lehi: Use Momentum’s drop-off map to find the nearest purple/blue glass bins at participating sites (parks, lots, and some retail locations)[10]

Bulk Trash: Self-Haul (Tipping Fees Apply)

Apartment reality: If your dumpster area can’t take a sofa, mattress, or an “overflow” load, don’t leave it beside the enclosure. Self-haul to the SUVSWD transfer station and pay standard disposal fees per the published rate schedule. [3][8]

How We Solve This For You (National Doorstep)

Compliance is operational. In Provo/Utah County, we help property management reduce illegal dumping and contamination by standardizing resident routines: electronics routed to SUVSWD with the correct fees/limits, HHW routed through the onsite HHW facility, glass routed to Momentum drop-offs, and bulk items routed to the transfer station instead of enclosures.

National Doorstep - The Valet Trash Service Experts

Orem & Lehi, UT — Voluntary Recycling — Regional Compliance Hub: Electronics + Limited HHW + Bulk Trash — North Pointe Transfer Station (Lindon)

Status: Voluntary Recycling (many apartment communities are not required to provide onsite recycling bins). When residents need a reliable, legal “Plan B” for electronics, trash/bulk loads, and certain household materials, North Pointe’s Lindon Transfer Station is the region’s primary drop-off option serving Orem, Lehi, Lindon, and nearby Utah County communities. [1][2]

Primary facility: North Pointe Transfer Station — 2000 W 200 S, Lindon, UT 84042 . [1]

Why This Works (Electronics + Bulk Loads — With Clear Fees & Rules)

Electronics solution: North Pointe accepts “typical household” electronics (including TVs and computers). One typical household electronic item per load is generally covered by the minimum fee; additional household electronics are charged a $10 recycle fee per unit. [2]

Bulk trash / furniture solution: Residents can self-haul bulky waste (sofas, mattresses, mixed trash) and pay posted tipping/minimum fees. Mattress fees are explicitly listed on North Pointe’s fee schedule. [3]

  • Address: 2000 W 200 S, Lindon, UT 84042[1]
  • Hours: Mon–Fri 7:00 AM–5:30 PM and Sat 7:30 AM–3:30 PM[2]
  • Public minimum fee: $12 minimum (see current fee schedule for categories and rate caps)[2][3]
  • Mattress fee: $20 each (see posted conditions; some in-district/public-load notes apply)[3]

Household Hazardous Waste (HHW): Important Limits — Do Not Assume Full Chemical Drop-Off

Critical clarification: North Pointe states HHW is accepted on a limited basis. Their FAQ specifically notes oil and antifreeze are accepted in quantities less than one gallon, and they encourage residents to use local recycling resources when available. [2]

Used oil rule: North Pointe also states residents can bring up to 5 gallons per visit for uncontaminated used oil. [2]

Batteries: Batteries (including lithium-ion) are accepted, with safety warnings due to fire risk. [2]

Action: If you have paint or pesticides, call ahead before loading your vehicle—chemical acceptance can be program- and capacity-dependent.

Electronics: TVs & Computers (Expect a Fee for Extra Items)

Accepted: TVs, computers, and small printers are listed as “typical household electronics.” [2]

Fee warning: Additional household electronics beyond one typical item per load are charged a $10 recycle fee per unit. [2]

Bulk Trash (Sofas / Mattresses): Self-Haul & Pay the Posted Gate Fees

Apartment reality: If your dumpster area can’t take a sofa, mattress, or “move-out” overflow load, don’t leave it beside the enclosure. Self-haul to North Pointe and pay the posted rate category (mattresses and mixed waste have specific rules/fees). [3]

How We Solve This For You (National Doorstep)

Compliance is operational. In Orem/Lehi, we help property management reduce illegal dumping and contamination by standardizing resident routines: electronics routed to North Pointe with the correct fee expectations, “limited HHW” clarified so residents don’t show up with rejected chemicals, and bulk items routed to the transfer station instead of enclosures.

Provo, Orem, Lehi, Eagle Mountain and greater Utah County apartment owners, asset managers, and on-site teams: stay ahead of evolving solid-waste expectations while giving residents the clean, convenient valet trash & recycling amenity they increasingly expect. National Doorstep’s valet trash & recycling program is engineered around Lehi’s mandatory residential solid-waste and recycling service rules and the broader expectations in Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain and unincorporated Utah County, helping you avoid code headaches while boosting NOI.

Within Lehi city limits, all residential property must be served by the city’s or its contractor’s solid-waste and recycling removal service, and property owners or managers must make both trash and recycling available for collection under Lehi City Code Title 5, Chapter 1. Violations of Chapter 5–1 are enforceable as a class C misdemeanor. In Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain and unincorporated Utah County, there is currently no apartment-specific recycling mandate, but properties are still subject to solid-waste, nuisance, and facility rules when enclosures overflow or residents lack clean, well-managed disposal options.

  • Protect NOI & Asset Value: Reduce the risk of class C misdemeanor citations and escalating enforcement in Lehi by aligning your program with city collection rules, and prevent costly overflow and nuisance violations across the rest of Utah County.
  • Resident-First Convenience: Doorstep service that keeps residents out of dark, icy enclosures, reduces trips to dumpsters, and supports renewals and online reputation in competitive Wasatch Front markets.
  • Code-Smart Design: Container layouts, labels, and service frequencies that respect Lehi’s required city/contractor service and the operational expectations of Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain, Utah County, and the North Pointe Solid Waste Special Service District.
  • Hands-Off Compliance: We coordinate with haulers, provide resident education, and maintain documentation so your property manager can stay focused on leasing, turns, and daily operations.

At a Glance: Lehi vs. Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain & Utah County

Lehi (Inside City Limits)

  • Mandate Type: Mandatory solid-waste and recycling removal service for all residential property.
  • Applicability Threshold: Applies broadly to all residential properties within Lehi city limits that generate solid waste and recycling, including multifamily communities.
  • Owner / Property Manager Duties: Enroll the property in the city’s or its contractor’s solid-waste and recycling collection service; make solid waste and recyclable materials available for collection as required; and follow city rules for preparation, placement, and accessibility of containers.
  • Program Duties: Maintain sufficient container capacity and collection frequency to prevent overflow and nuisance conditions; keep enclosures clean and accessible to collection trucks and residents; and coordinate with the city or contracted hauler on service changes.
  • Key Local Links: Lehi City – Official Site · Lehi Garbage & Recycling

Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain & Utah County

  • Mandate Type: No county-wide apartment recycling mandate; cities provide or contract for residential service, and multifamily recycling is generally handled as a commercial or contract matter.
  • Applicability Threshold: Provo: City provides curbside recycling where it also provides refuse collection; many larger apartments contract directly with private haulers.
    Orem & Eagle Mountain: Recycling is offered through utility accounts or contracted haulers; no multifamily-specific recycling ordinance identified.
    Utah County: County solid-waste regulations and North Pointe SSD agreements focus on disposal facilities and fees, not an apartment recycling mandate.
  • Program Duties: Maintain adequate trash service; prevent overflow, illegal dumping, and nuisance conditions; choose hauler contracts that give residents reasonable access to recycling even though it is not formally mandated for apartments.
  • Risk Profile: Even without a formal apartment mandate, communities can be cited for unsanitary conditions, scattered refuse, and poorly managed enclosures, and may draw additional scrutiny from zoning, code enforcement, and fire inspection teams.
  • How National Doorstep Helps: We design valet trash & recycling programs that match local operational norms in Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain and unincorporated Utah County and anticipate potential future ordinance changes so your sites are “inspection ready.”

Utah County Cities & Apartment Recycling Mandates

Lehi is currently the standout in this cluster with a clear, codified requirement that all residential properties participate in the city’s solid-waste and recycling system. Other nearby cities operate under broader solid-waste and nuisance rules without a dedicated apartment recycling mandate, but they still expect clean, safe, and well-managed waste areas at multifamily communities.

City / Area Apartment Recycling Mandate? Notes for Owners & Property Managers
Lehi Yes – Mandatory solid-waste & recycling removal service All residential property must be provided with solid-waste and recycling removal service by the city or its contractor. Property owners or managers must make trash and recyclables available for collection in compliance with city rules. Violations of the solid-waste chapter are enforceable as a class C misdemeanor, with fines established under Lehi’s general penalty provisions.
Key local links: Lehi City – Official Site
Provo No dedicated apartment recycling mandate Provo provides curbside recycling to eligible residential structures where the city also provides refuse service. Many larger apartment communities use private hauler contracts for trash and recycling. There is no codified requirement that multifamily properties provide on-site recycling to residents, but properties must avoid overflowing containers, contamination and nuisance conditions around enclosures.
Key local links: Provo City – Official Site
Orem No dedicated apartment recycling mandate When a utility account is opened, residents typically receive a garbage and recycling cart together. Multifamily properties are treated as commercial or higher-density service customers; recycling is typically delivered via contract rather than a specific apartment ordinance. Focus for property managers is on adequate service, containment, and clean enclosures rather than a unit-count threshold.
Key local links: Orem City – Official Site
Eagle Mountain No clearly published apartment recycling mandate Eagle Mountain provides solid-waste and recycling service through utility billing and contracted haulers. Recycling access and container types are managed through account changes and city-contracted service. There is no publicly available ordinance that specifically requires apartment property managers to provide resident recycling, but solid-waste and property maintenance rules still apply.
Key local links: Eagle Mountain – Official Site
Unincorporated Utah County / North Pointe SSD No county-wide apartment recycling mandate Utah County’s ordinances and North Pointe Solid Waste Special Service District agreements focus on landfill, transfer, and county-wide waste management fees, not on requiring multifamily properties to provide resident recycling. Apartments in unincorporated areas typically rely on private hauler contracts for trash and any voluntary recycling service. Properties remain subject to nuisance, zoning, and solid-waste rules related to litter, illegal dumping, and unsafe conditions.
Key local links: Utah County – Official Site · North Pointe Solid Waste SSD
Other Utah County Cities (e.g., American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Spanish Fork) No dedicated apartment recycling mandate (current public codes) Many neighboring cities offer or franchise solid-waste and residential recycling, but current publicly available codes do not show Salt Lake City–style multifamily recycling ordinances with cubic-yard or unit thresholds. Multifamily properties operate as commercial customers that may add recycling service by contract. A well-designed valet trash & recycling program helps reduce complaints, contamination, and future enforcement risk.

Lehi & Utah County Fines & Penalties Snapshot

  • Lehi Class C Misdemeanor Exposure: Violations of Lehi’s solid-waste chapter (Title 5, Chapter 1) are treated as a class C misdemeanor. Under Lehi’s general penalty provisions, a class C misdemeanor can carry fines of up to several hundred dollars per offense, and, for entities, up to approximately $1,000 per offense. Each separate violation of the chapter may be enforced.
  • Improper Disposal & Nuisance Conditions: Across Lehi, Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain and Utah County, code enforcement can act on overflowing dumpsters, loose trash, illegal dumping, and unsafe or unsanitary enclosure conditions, even in the absence of a specific apartment recycling mandate.
  • Contract & Franchise Requirements: Where cities use franchise haulers or utility-based collection, failing to follow container, placement, or set-out requirements can trigger additional notices of violation, service fees, or enforcement actions against the property and/or hauler.
  • Soft Enforcement Through Inspections: Fire, health, and building inspections may cite messy enclosures, blocked access, or pest activity associated with poor waste practices, increasing operational risk and potentially delaying approvals, renewals, or future entitlements.
  • Risk Management Tip: Build a defensible record: keep signed hauler agreements, photos of container areas, service schedules, and copies of resident recycling guidelines. This gives your property manager a strong position if a notice of violation, complaint, or inspection issue arises.

Utah County Multifamily Recycling & Waste Compliance Checklist

Task Action / Requirement Helpful Links
☑ Confirm Jurisdiction & Service Provider Verify whether your community is located in Lehi, Provo, Orem, Eagle Mountain or unincorporated Utah County. Confirm which city or district provides service and whether you are required to use a city-designated or franchise hauler for trash and recycling. Lehi · Provo · Orem · Eagle Mountain · Utah County
☑ Align with Lehi’s Mandatory Service (If Applicable) If your property is in Lehi, confirm that you are enrolled in the city’s or its contractor’s solid-waste and recycling collection service. Ensure containers, enclosures and collection practices comply with Lehi’s preparation and placement rules to avoid class C misdemeanor exposure. Lehi Garbage & Recycling
☑ Right-Size Trash & Recycling Capacity Even where apartment recycling is not mandated, provide enough trash and recycling container volume and collection frequency to avoid overflow and illegal dumping. For Provo, Orem and Eagle Mountain, coordinate with haulers to mirror or exceed single-family recycling norms at the multifamily scale. Provo Solid Waste · Orem Utilities
☑ Create a Site-Level Recycling & Waste Plan Draft a simple written plan for each community that documents haulers, container locations, pickup schedules, materials accepted, and valet trash procedures. Use this as your internal playbook and as documentation for owners, lenders, and inspectors. Internal property files (keep a copy with your operations manual and vendor contracts).
☑ Resident Education & Signage Equip residents with clear instructions at move-in and throughout the year: how to prepare trash and recyclables, where to set out bags for valet collection, and enclosure rules. Use signage, door hangers, email templates, and portal notices so residents know exactly how to use the service. National Doorstep can supply co-branded print-ready and digital resident guides.
☑ Document Service & Inspections Maintain a record of service logs, contamination notes, photos of enclosures, and corrective actions. This protects your property manager if a complaint is escalated to code enforcement or if a lender or asset manager requests proof of a structured program. Store documentation alongside your vendor contracts, insurance certificates, and capital plans.
