Anderson regulates trash cans by ordinance: carts may go out at noon the day before pickup and must be removed within 24 hours after collection, stored beside the house or garage. Violations can bring a $50-per-day fine.
Anderson City Council amended its trash-can ordinance in 2023 (originally adopted 1985). Residents may place trash containers at the street at noon the day before their collection day and must remove them within 24 hours after pickup. Between collections, the ordinance requires trash containers to be stored by the house or garage rather than left at the curb. Enforcement is handled by the city's Environmental Control Department, which issues a warning letter for a first violation and can then impose a fine.
First violation draws a warning letter from Environmental Control; continued violations can bring a fine of $50 per day for each violation.
