Davis requires trash, recycling and organics carts to be stored off public view between collection days. Carts left at the curb or visible from the street outside collection windows can be cited as visual blight under the nuisance code.
Recology Davis carts (trash, recycling, organics) may be brought to the curb only after 5:00 p.m. the day before collection and must be removed by 7:00 a.m. the day after collection, per Recology set-out instructions. Storing carts in public view at other times can constitute visual blight under DMC Article 23.01, which lists conditions viewed from the public right-of-way that reduce neighborhood appearance. Carts are the property of the franchise hauler and must be kept clean and lidded so the lid closes. There is no separate bin-screening chapter beyond the nuisance and set-out rules; enforcement is complaint-driven through Code Enforcement, and Recology handles cart repair or replacement (530-756-4646).
Carts left visible outside collection windows may be cited as visual blight under Article 23.01, following the Notice of Violation then $100 / $200 / $500 administrative citation ladder for repeat violations within 12 months at the same address
