In unincorporated Lane County, no owner may accumulate putrescible (rotting) solid waste on private property for more than seven days. It must be stored in approved litter receptacles, garbage cans, or securely tied bundles (Lane Code 9.010.040B).
Lane Code 9.010.040B prohibits any owner or occupant of private property from depositing or permitting putrescible solid waste to accumulate for more than seven days. Such waste must be stored in public or private litter receptacles approved by the Health Officer, in garbage cans, or in securely tied bundles. Because Lane County uses a self-haul system rather than mandatory curbside collection, residents typically store waste in cans until hauling it to a transfer station. Overflowing or improperly stored garbage that provides rodent harborage or causes odor also becomes a nuisance under LC 9.057.584. Inside cities, municipal container and collection rules apply.
Storing putrescible waste beyond seven days, or in unapproved containers, is a nuisance subject to abatement notice, County abatement, cost lien, and possible fines.
