Euless requires trash and recycling carts to be stored out of public view between collection days. Carts left at the curb beyond 24 hours after pickup are subject to citations.
Euless enforces cart storage requirements as part of its broader property maintenance ordinance to preserve neighborhood appearance and property values. Residential trash, recycling, and yard waste carts must be stored out of view from the primary street right-of-way except during the permitted curbside placement window. The permitted window runs from no earlier than 6 PM the evening before the scheduled collection day through 24 hours after pickup. Acceptable storage locations include behind an opaque privacy fence in the side or rear yard, inside an enclosed garage, or tucked against the side of the house in a location screened from street view by fencing or landscaping. Carts stored in the front yard, driveway, or any location visible from the street outside the permitted window are subject to property maintenance enforcement. The typical enforcement path begins with a courtesy notice from Code Compliance, followed by a formal written notice giving a correction deadline, and finally a citation with fines if the violation continues. Repeat violators can face escalating fines. In addition to cart placement, property owners are responsible for keeping carts in good condition with lids that close fully and no major damage; badly damaged carts should be reported to Republic Services for replacement. Carts must also be kept clean and free of odors, maggots, and pests. HOA covenants in many Euless neighborhoods impose stricter standards than the city code.
