Bin Placement Rules: Mead Valley vs Murrieta

Carts in unincorporated Riverside County must be placed at the curb with wheels against the curb, lids opening toward the street, with at least three feet of clear space between carts and from obstructions such as vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and low-hanging tree branches. Improperly placed carts may be skipped without refund.

Trash, recycling, and organics carts must be placed at the curb with handles toward the house and three feet of clearance on all sides to allow automated side-loader trucks to collect cleanly.
