Provo resource guide
Provo, Utah, at a glance: Spring Cleanup (Mar 30-May 9, 2026) and Fall Cleanup: 6-week roll-off dumpster windows, free transfer station coupon included. Nothing collected outside carts year-round except seasonal cleanup. SUVSWD for HHW and electronics at suvswd.org. This page pulls the Provo specifics for grills out of our full Provo junk removal guide: what the city program accepts, where to donate, the prep that keeps a pickup from being skipped, and paid options when you need a grill gone this week.
With the tank handled, nearly every grill leaves free. Here is how each route works in Provo.
Provo Spring and Fall Cleanup (grills)
Free, 6 weeks eachTwo cleanup windows per year provide roll-off dumpsters at multiple city locations, plus a free transfer station load coupon. The primary free path for bulk items in Provo.
Closest Provo by-item rule (“Refrigerator or appliance”): Seasonal cleanup dumpsters or SUVSWD transfer station (suvswd.org). Retailer haul-away. Freon recovery required.
Spring Cleanup 2026: March 30 - May 9, 2026. Roll-off dumpsters at Provo City Compost Yard and rotating neighborhood sites.
Fall Cleanup: Typically October to November (six-week window).

Provo Compost Yard year-round
Free for residentsThe Provo City Compost Yard at 1625 S Industrial Pkwy is open year-round Fridays and Saturdays for recycling drop-off. Full compost services from March to November.
Hours: Friday and Saturday 7:00 AM-5:00 PM, weather dependent. Full compost services March to November; recycling-only December to February.

Donation pickup in Provo (usable grills)
FreeUtah’s major thrift and donation network with multiple Utah Valley locations. The most established and accepted donation channel in the Provo/Orem area, accepting furniture, appliances, clothing, and household goods.
Schedules free pickup for usable furniture and large items. Schedule online at satruck.org.
Propane tank exchange, dealer, or HHW drop-off
Free to $5Tank exchange cages at hardware and grocery stores take a tank in trade for a full one, which costs money but solves the problem. Propane dealers and many hardware stores accept old tanks free, and every household hazardous waste facility accepts them. Some scrap yards accept tanks with the valve removed; most do not.
Never put a tank in the trash, recycling, or at the curb. It is the most common cause of refuse truck fires after lithium batteries.
Expired tanks (older than 12 years from the stamped date) cannot be refilled but are accepted everywhere above.
Scrap pickup for the grill body
Free, often paid to youStainless grills carry meaningful scrap value; painted steel grills less, but scrappers collect any grill free from a curb because the cast iron grates and steel body add up to 60 to 150 pounds. Post it as free scrap once the tank is off.
Stainless steel is non-magnetic and pays several times the steel rate.
Cast iron grates are heavy and wanted; leave them in.
Freemoval (free pickups through partner organizations)
FreeFreemoval funds free junk removal and cleanouts for households referred by trusted partner organizations, such as nonprofits, housing programs, and senior services. Families don’t apply directly. A partner submits the request and vouches for the need.
Status in Provo: Not yet available. Freemoval currently serves metro Atlanta and plans to expand nationwide.
How it works where it operates: One free pickup per household, covering grills, furniture, appliances, and bulk household items within standard LoadUp marketplace service. Funded by LoadUp customer round-ups and direct contributions, spent at standard LoadUp rates.

Provo, Utah takes a seasonal approach to bulk waste: Spring Cleanup (March to May) and Fall Cleanup each provide six weeks of roll-off dumpsters at multiple city locations for residents to drop off large items and bulk waste, with a free transfer station load coupon included. Provo has no appointment-based or automated curbside bulk pickup outside these seasonal windows. Year-round, everything must fit inside the cart. The South Utah Valley Solid Waste District handles HHW and electronics for the region. This guide covers disposal options for City of Provo residents.
Provo does not list grills as a separate line in its bulk rules. The closest category in the city table is “Refrigerator or appliance”: Seasonal cleanup dumpsters or SUVSWD transfer station (suvswd.org). Retailer haul-away. Freon recovery required. Treat that as the starting point and confirm with the city program before set-out.
Hazardous and regulated components in Provo. The South Utah Valley Solid Waste District (SUVSWD) handles HHW and electronics for Provo and surrounding Utah Valley communities.
Why grills are different from ordinary bulk. The propane tank is the entire problem. Even an 'empty' 20-pound tank holds residual gas under pressure and can rupture in a compactor. Trash and bulk crews are trained to refuse grills with tanks attached, and a tank left on the grill is the main reason grills get skipped.
Three mistakes that get grills left at the curb:
Paid options are mostly for built-in grills and heavy ceramic kamado cookers.
Self-haul to a scrap yard or transfer station
Free to $20A cart grill fits in an SUV with the lid off and legs folded. Scrap yards take it free; transfer stations charge a small bulky fee. Take the tank to a separate drop-off.
Ceramic kamado grills have no scrap value and go to a transfer station; the steel bands and cart are scrap.
