Citrus Heights requires trash, recycling, and organics carts to be stored out of public view on non-collection days and not to create sanitary nuisances. Overflowing, damaged, or odorous carts violate the city's property maintenance and nuisance provisions.
Citrus Heights Municipal Code property maintenance standards require waste containers to be stored in a side yard, rear yard, garage, or other location screened from the public street on non-collection days. Lids must remain closed, and containers must be kept reasonably clean and free from vermin, flies, and odors. Carts that overflow repeatedly may be cited; customers are expected to subscribe to larger cart sizes or additional carts through Republic Services to handle household waste volume. Junk or debris piles adjacent to cart storage are a separate nuisance violation. HOAs may impose stricter screening rules through CC&Rs.
Violations are enforced by city Code Enforcement via administrative citations. Typical progression: courtesy notice, 10-day compliance order, then fines of $100, $200, and $500 for repeat offenses.
