Cook County property maintenance standards apply to trash bin storage in unincorporated areas. Bins should be stored out of public view when not set out for collection. Private waste haulers set pickup and retrieval schedules.
Cook County property maintenance standards for unincorporated areas address the storage of trash bins and waste containers. Bins left visible from the street for extended periods may constitute a property maintenance violation. Private waste haulers that serve unincorporated areas set specific schedules for when bins should be placed out for collection and retrieved. Bins should generally be stored in a screened location (behind the house, in a garage, or behind a fence) when not set out for collection. Overflowing bins, scattered trash, and waste accumulation are enforceable violations. The Department of Building and Zoning handles property maintenance complaints. Rodent and pest problems caused by improperly stored waste may also trigger health department action.
Persistent bin visibility: property maintenance citation. Scattered trash: $100–$1,000 fine. Rodent attraction: health department action.
