All carts must be at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on the service day and removed within 12 hours after collection.

Some RestrictionsBin Placement Rules
Under Jurupa Valley Municipal Code Chapter 6.80 (Collection of Solid Waste — Container Decals/Set-Out) and the city's residential program rules, carts must be placed at the curb by 6:00 a.m. on service day with lids closed, wheels facing the house, and roughly 3 feet of clearance around each cart so the automated truck arm can grab them. Carts must be moved back behind the front-yard setback line or into a screened side/rear yard within 12 hours after collection. Storing carts in public view between collection days is treated as a nuisance / property-maintenance violation.
