Trash and recycling carts must be stored out of public view except on collection day; carts may be placed at the curb after 6 PM the day before pickup.
Aurora City Code requires residential trash and recycling carts to be stored behind the front building line or otherwise screened from public right-of-way view except on collection day. Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 PM the evening before pickup and must be removed from the curb by the end of collection day. Carts left out repeatedly generate warnings and then fines up to 100 dollars per violation. Trash bags outside of carts are not permitted for regular collection. Overflowing carts with lids that won't close are considered a code violation.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Aurora code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
