Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Provo green can cost?

$6.40 a month from March through November. December, January, and February are not billed for the green can, and the city says the discounted black-can price continues through those months.

When is the Provo compost yard open?

1625 South Industrial Parkway, Fridays and Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., with longer weekday hours during spring and fall cleanups. March through November the yard takes recycling, yard waste, and compost. December through February it is open for recycling only.

Why can't glass go in the Provo recycling bin?

The city says broken glass embeds in the other material and gets that material thrown out. Take bottles to the glass bin at 50 S 300 W. Do not put bags or boxes in that bin. Grocery bags go back to a store that collects them, not into the recycling bin. Bagged recycling is treated as trash because the sorter cannot see what is inside.

How do I tell if a Provo cardboard box is waxed?

Scratch it with a fingernail. If wax comes off, it goes in the garbage. Waxed boxes are used so the cardboard does not get soggy, and they do not belong in recycling.
