Ventura County regulates trash bin storage and placement in unincorporated areas. Bins must be stored out of public view except on collection days, and must be placed at the curb by the designated time and retrieved within a specified period after collection.
Trash and recycling bins in unincorporated Ventura County must be stored on the property in a location not visible from the public right-of-way, except during designated collection periods. Bins should be placed at the curb no earlier than 5 PM the evening before collection and must be retrieved by the end of the day on collection day. Bins must not block sidewalks, bike lanes, or roadways. The county contracts with waste haulers including E.J. Harrison & Sons for collection services in unincorporated areas. Overflowing bins, loose trash around bins, and bins stored in front yards are common code enforcement triggers. Multi-family properties may have different requirements based on the type of collection service.
First violation: written warning with 7-day compliance period. Subsequent violations: $100-$250 per occurrence. Chronic non-compliance with bin storage requirements may result in administrative citations of $500 or more. Bins left at the curb beyond the permitted period are the most common violation.
