Pinellas Park FAQ

Where should I store my trash can between pickups?

Behind the front building line and screened from public view. Storing cans in the front yard between collection days is a common code enforcement issue.

Can I put bins out the night before?

Yes. Containers may be placed at the curb the evening before collection day, but they must be removed promptly after pickup the same day.

Safety Harbor FAQ

Which way should the handle face?

Place the cart with the handle facing your home (or away from the curb). This allows the automated truck arm to grab the cart correctly.

How long can my bin stay at the curb?

Containers must be removed from the right-of-way no later than midnight on the day of collection. Leaving carts longer can trigger code enforcement notices.
