Englewood prohibits placing refuse or collection containers on the street or in a manner that obstructs pedestrian passage on public sidewalks awaiting collection.
Chapter 364 of the Englewood Code regulates solid waste containers. Refuse, garbage, or trash cannot be placed in the street or roadway, nor on the sidewalk in a way that obstructs or interferes with pedestrian passage while waiting for collection. The Department of Public Works collects residential garbage on schedules established by Council. Yard waste must be containerized in cans, buckets, bags, or vessels that prevent spillage. During heavy snow or ice, owners must clear paths to and from collection containers when access is otherwise hazardous.
Storing trash bins in the roadway, blocking sidewalks, leaving uncovered yard waste at the curb outside collection windows, or failing to clear access paths violates Chapter 364.
