Bucks County municipalities require trash and recycling bins to be stored out of public view between collection days. Bins may typically be placed curbside the evening before pickup and retrieved within 24 hours.
Most Bucks County townships adopt the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) with local amendments. Trash and recycling containers must be stored behind the front building line, in a garage, or behind a screen/fence out of public view between collection days. Curbside placement is allowed beginning after 5 PM the day before collection and must be retrieved by the end of collection day (or within 24 hours in some townships). Containers must have tight-fitting lids to prevent spillage, odors, and wildlife access. Recycling is mandatory in most Bucks municipalities under the PA Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (Act 101 of 1988). Commercial dumpsters require opaque screening on three sides and a gate; screening typically 6 feet tall. HOAs may impose stricter storage rules.
First violation: written warning typical. Repeat violations: fines $25 to $300 per occurrence under township property maintenance codes. Continued non-compliance: citation in magisterial district court with cumulative fines plus court costs.
