How to get one

  1. Decide where the container goes

    A driveway or private lot avoids the city permit in Orem. If the only spot is the street, measure: a 20-yard needs about 25 feet of curb length and 10 feet of width.

  2. Contact City of Orem

    Use the city's website to request a right-of-way or encroachment permit. Ask for the current fee and any insurance or reflector requirements.

  3. Have the details ready

    Expect to give the address, the container size, the delivery and pickup dates, the hauler’s name, and sometimes a placement sketch or proof of the hauler’s insurance.

  4. Leave time for approval

    Plan on a few business days. Book the delivery for after the permit is issued, and keep a copy on site.

  5. Check HOA rules too

    Many Orem neighborhoods with HOAs limit how long a container can sit, even on a driveway. The city permit doesn't override HOA rules.
