Apple Valley, CA Property Maintenance: Trash Bin Storage (2026)

Solid waste service in the Town of Apple Valley is provided by the franchise hauler Burrtec Waste Industries ((760) 245-8607), with sanitation billed by the Town. Residents receive a three-cart set: a green barrel with a black lid for general trash, a blue barrel for recyclables, and a smaller green barrel for organics/yard waste. Between collection days, the Town's nuisance and property-maintenance rules call for carts to be kept out of public view rather than stored permanently at the curb or in front-yard view; carts left out is one of the violations Code Enforcement routinely addresses. The Town's nuisance authority for storage and screening sits in Title 6, Chapter 6.30, supported by California's substandard-property statute (Health & Safety Code section 17920.3), which treats inadequate garbage and rubbish storage as a substandard condition. The Town has not published a separate front-page rule specifying an exact setback distance or screening material for carts; residents should confirm cart-storage specifics with Code Enforcement at (760) 240-7560. Damaged, missing or additional carts are handled directly by Burrtec. Because the Town is the billing agent, cart and service questions split between Burrtec (operations, sizes, bulky pickup) and the Town's Solid Waste line ((760) 240-7569).
