Shasta County does not require residents in unincorporated areas to subscribe to garbage service, so there is no broad county mandate on storing carts. The franchised hauler (Waste Management) directs customers to place carts at the curb by 6 a.m. on collection day and remove them the same day. Accumulated refuse can become a Chapter 8.28 nuisance.
In unincorporated Shasta County, blighted property conditions are addressed under the County Code's nuisance provisions (Title 8, Chapter 8.28, Nuisances). The County's Code Compliance and Enforcement program investigates complaints and may order abatement of declared nuisances after written notice.
Vacant and improved parcels in unincorporated Shasta County must be kept free of nuisance conditions under County Code Chapter 8.28, and many parcels carry fire-driven vegetation/defensible-space obligations. Urban parcels of two acres or less must clear the entire parcel under the County's fire-safety provisions.
No specific Shasta County ordinance requiring a permit for residential garage or yard sales in unincorporated areas was found in the County Code. Occasional residential sales are generally treated as an accessory residential activity, but California sales/use tax rules can apply to frequent or business-scale selling.
Unincorporated Shasta County manages weeds and dry vegetation primarily through fire-driven defensible-space rules rather than a fixed lawn-height ordinance. A responsible party must keep up to 30 feet of defensible space from the property line (more if the Fire Warden directs, up to 100 feet), and urban parcels two acres or less must be cleared entirely.
