Recycling in Orem, Utah
Orem picks up garbage once a week and recycling every other week on the same day. Glass stays out of the home bin, so the city keeps a glass bin in the northeast corner of the Orem Public Works lot, 1450 W 550 N. Overflow trash goes to the North Pointe transfer station at 2000 W 200 S in Lindon, where Orem residents pay a reduced rate and drop green waste free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Orem have curbside recycling?
Yes. Orem collects recycling every other week on the same day as your weekly garbage pickup. The plastic film pilot with Waste Management has ended, so plastic film stays out of the bin. The city's free Recycle Coach app shows your pickup weeks and what goes in the bin.
Can I recycle glass in Orem?
Not in your home bin. Orem keeps a glass recycling bin open to anyone at Orem Public Works, 1450 W 550 N, in the northeast corner of the parking lot. It takes clear, brown, and green glass.
Where do I take extra trash or green waste in Orem?
Haul it to North Pointe's transfer station, 2000 W 200 S in Lindon, open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM Saturday. Orem is a participating city, so show an ID with your Orem address or an Orem City utility bill for the reduced rate. Orem residents drop green waste there free at any time.
Does Orem pick up green waste?
Yes, as a paid add-on. Green waste trucks run weekly on your regular garbage day from March through November. The service costs $5.85 per month for the nine months it runs. Outside the season, take yard trimmings to North Pointe, where Orem residents drop green waste free.
Where do I take used oil, car batteries, and electronics in Orem?
Orem Public Works takes up to 5 gallons of used oil. Larger amounts go to Rock Canyon Oil or Emerald Recycling. The city sends car batteries and auto parts to MCR Recycling. Electronics go to North Pointe or to Best Buy, which charges $25 per computer, and fluorescent bulbs go to North Pointe at $0.30 per foot or to Batteries Plus.
How does Orem's Fall Clean-Up work?
Each fall the city sets out dumpsters for trash, green waste, and metal recycling, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with no after-hours dumping. Any Orem resident can use any site. The dumpsters refuse tires, wet paint, auto parts and batteries, electronics, refrigerators, mattresses, and used oil.
