Castle Rock limits how long garbage containers may sit at the curb. Bins may be placed next to a public roadway or alley for pickup for no more than 24 hours. Outside that window, containers must be stored out of view on private property.
The Town does not provide trash service, so residents contract with private haulers, but container placement is regulated under the property-maintenance standards. The Town states "Garbage containers may be placed next to a public roadway or alley for trash pick up for a period not to exceed 24 hours." Containers left at the curb beyond pickup day are a code-compliance concern. The related standard also keeps rubbish, trash and solid waste from accumulating on the lot. Report a container left out too long at CRgov.com/ReportAConcern or contact the Zoning Division at 720-733-3557.
Bins left out beyond the 24-hour window may draw a Code Compliance reminder letter, then enforcement action if the violation is not corrected.
