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.
The Provo by-item rule for “TV or electronics”: SUVSWD transfer station (518 W 3450 N, Spanish Fork). Best Buy free recycling. UT e-waste guidance via suvswd.org.
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 TVs and electronics are different from ordinary bulk. Electronics fall into a unique disposal category: they’re NOT eligible for regular trash in 25+ states (NY, CA, IL, NJ, MA, OR, WA, MN, MI, CT, MD, NC, VA, OK, and others have e-waste laws), but free recycling is widely available through multiple channels.
Three mistakes that get TVs and electronics left at the curb:
When free options don’t fit (large CRT TVs, multiple items at once, can’t self-haul):
LoadUp paid TV or electronics pickup
$80+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.

How much does paid TV and electronics removal cost in Provo?
Through the LoadUp marketplace, a single TV or electronics 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.
What’s the simplest way to recycle electronics?
Best Buy in-store recycling. 1,000+ U.S. locations, accepts most electronics free at the customer service desk (limit 3 items per household per day). Computers, laptops, monitors under 32 inches, printers, small electronics, batteries, ink cartridges, and cables are free. CRT TVs and TVs over 32 inches: $30 fee each. No appointment needed.
Can I throw a TV in regular trash?
In most U.S. states, no. 25+ states (NY, CA, IL, NJ, MA, OR, WA, MN, MI, CT, MD, NC, VA, OK, and others) have e-waste laws that ban TVs from regular trash. Even in states without e-waste laws, most cities ban TVs from regular bulk pickup. Free TV recycling is available through Best Buy ($30 for CRT or over 32 in), state e-waste programs, and city drop-off sites.
How do I wipe my hard drive before recycling a computer?
Three options: (1) Software wipe, download free DBAN (Darik’s Boot and Nuke) or use built-in OS tools (Windows: Reset PC with “remove everything” + clean drive; Mac: Erase Assistant in System Settings). (2) Physical destruction, remove the hard drive and physically destroy it (drill holes, hammer). (3) Best Buy free data destruction service, included with electronics drop-off. Option 3 is easiest if you’re using Best Buy for disposal anyway.
Why are CRT TVs more expensive to recycle?
CRT (cathode ray tube) TVs contain 4 to 8 lbs of leaded glass per tube, plus phosphors and other heavy metals. Modern flat-screen TVs are dramatically less hazardous and cheaper to recycle. CRT recyclers must handle the leaded glass through specialized facilities, which costs $20 to $50 per TV. Retailer recycling fees ($30 at Best Buy) and city drop-off fees ($10 to $30) cover this cost. State e-waste programs (NY, CA, IL, others) absorb the cost through manufacturer fees on new electronics.
