Donation pickup in Provo (usable patio furniture)
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.
Scrap pickup for aluminum, steel, and wrought iron
Free, often paid to youAluminum patio frames are lightweight and high-value scrap; cast aluminum and wrought iron sets are heavy and also wanted. Post the metal pieces as free scrap and a scrapper collects them within a day, or take aluminum to a yard yourself where it pays several times the per-pound rate of steel.
A magnet test separates aluminum (no stick) from steel (sticks). Yards pay far more for aluminum sorted out.
Remove cushions and glass before the scrapper arrives; they only want the frame.
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 patio furniture, 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 patio furniture as a separate line in its bulk rules. The closest category in the city table is “Couch or furniture”: Seasonal cleanup dumpsters. Deseret Industries, Salvation Army, or Habitat ReStore Utah County if usable. Treat that as the starting point and confirm with the city program before set-out.
Why patio furniture are different from ordinary bulk. Patio sets accumulate damage that donation programs will not accept: rust on steel, fading and brittleness on plastic, unraveling resin wicker, and mildew on cushions. Intact aluminum and teak sets in good condition donate easily; everything else goes to scrap or bulk.
Three mistakes that get patio furniture left at the curb:
Paid options are for a full set with nowhere to stage it, a condo with no bulk service, or heavy cast pieces nobody will carry.
Self-haul to a transfer station
$10 to $30Plastic and resin pieces stack into a pickup or trailer. Transfer stations charge by load. Take the metal to a scrap yard separately where it is free or pays.
Break resin wicker frames down to reduce the volume charge.

Does Provo pick up patio furniture for free?
Provo does not list patio furniture separately. The closest category in the city’s by-item rules is "Couch or furniture": Seasonal cleanup dumpsters. Deseret Industries, Salvation Army, or Habitat ReStore Utah County if usable. Confirm with the city program before set-out.
Where can I donate patio furniture in Provo?
Utah’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.
How much does paid patio furniture removal cost in Provo?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single patio furniture pickup in Provo starts around $80 to $100 with upfront pricing, and full-truck loads run $300 to $600 depending on volume. For Provo households who need same-day or in-home pickup, crew labor, or faster service than city programs allow, LoadUp connects you with independent loaders in the Provo area.
Can patio furniture go out with bulk trash?
Yes in nearly every city with a bulk program. Remove glass tabletops and protect them, break down umbrellas, and stack chairs. Metal pieces can go to scrap instead.
Is aluminum patio furniture worth anything as scrap?
Yes. Aluminum pays several times the per-pound rate of steel, and a full aluminum set weighs 60 to 120 pounds. Many people get $20 to $60 at a yard, or simply give it to a scrapper who picks it up free.
What do I do with a glass patio tabletop?
Remove it from the frame. For bulk pickup, tape the surface in a grid, mark it 'glass,' and lean it securely, or box it. Intact tempered glass tops are also easy to give away because replacements cost $100 or more.
Can I donate weathered patio furniture?
Donation programs want pieces without rust, brittleness, or mildew. Weathered teak and cast aluminum are accepted and resold; faded plastic and frayed resin wicker usually are not. Free listings are more forgiving.
Is this Provo page maintained?
Yes. Freemoval maintains this page as a public resource alongside the full Provo guide. We update it when programs change rules, fees, or contact methods. Last updated October 2026. If you find outdated information, let us know.
