Green Yard Waste Season Starts Today!

Provo’s Yard Waste Season starts today and will run from March 2 through November 27, 2020. Your green yard waste cans will be emptied the same day as your regular garbage pickup. Please have your cans on the side of the road by 6:00 am.


Make sure that you are only putting yard waste in your green cans. We are unable to pick up green cans with unacceptable materials in them.


  • No rocks, dirt, sod, paper, building materials, stumps, roots or animal waste

  • The lid should be able to close – brush/limbs no longer than 3’ or hanging over can


Acceptable Materials


  • Yard Waste: grass clippings, leaves, weeds, tree branches (cut tree branches so they can fit in container)
