Cedar Hill requires residential trash and recycling carts to be stored out of view from the street except on collection day, when they may be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before pickup.
Cedar Hill contracts curbside solid waste service and provides standardized roll-out carts. The city's property maintenance and solid waste regulations require carts be stored behind the front building line or screened from street view between collection days — typically in a side yard, garage, or behind a fence. Carts may be placed at the curb after 6 p.m. the evening before collection and must be returned to storage by the end of the collection day or the next morning. Carts must not block sidewalks, the street, or fire hydrants, and damaged or missing carts should be reported to the city's solid waste contractor. Repeat violations of cart storage rules can lead to code enforcement notices and citations.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
