Converse requires trash and recycling carts to be stored out of public view between collections. Carts visible from the street on non-collection days are a code enforcement violation subject to fines.
Under the Converse property maintenance code, residential trash and recycling carts must be stored behind the front building line of the home (side yard, rear yard, garage, or behind a privacy fence) between pickup days. Carts may be brought to the curb no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before collection and must be returned to their storage location by the end of the pickup day. Carts left in the front yard, driveway visible from the street, or at the curb continuously are considered a nuisance and trigger code enforcement action. First violations typically receive a courtesy warning, with escalating fines for repeat offenses. The rule applies to all residential properties regardless of whether the lot has a fence. If your lot configuration makes concealment difficult, a screening enclosure may be required.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
