“Residents are encouraged to clean their yards, sweep gutters and sidewalks and do their best to improve yards and neighborhoods. Owners of vacant lots are encouraged to clear their lots of garbage, tall weeds and other debris,” reads the Springville Public Works department website.

Paint, toxic materials, antifreeze, aerosols, household cleaning supplies, pesticides, batteries, lightbulbs, chemicals, freezers, refrigerators, tires, mattresses, televisions, computers, and other household or electronic waste should be disposed of at either the South Utah Valley Solid Waste District in Springville or the North Pointe Solid Waste Special Service District in Lindon. 

“If you’re not sure what we accept, call us because we have the answers. No matter what it is you need to get rid of, we can help you get it to the right place. That’s what we do,” said Terry Ficklin, general manager of the South Utah Valley Solid Waste District.

Each city’s public works department will be providing dumpsters in various locations — which can be found on city websites — for scrap metal and trash. Tree trimmings and other yard waste can be taken to local compost facilities such as the Springville Yard Waste Disposal Center or either solid waste district location for free.

Lehi City encourages residents to “clean up trash around a neighborhood, park or school, planting a garden, donating used books to a library, and doing yard work at your home, for a neighbor, (or a senior).”
