Folsom requires trash, recycling, and organics carts to be stored out of public view from the street when not at the curb for collection. Carts visible from the right-of-way outside the pickup window are a property maintenance violation under FMC Chapter 8.42.
Folsom Municipal Code §8.42 (Property Maintenance Standards) requires that refuse containers be screened from public view from the street and adjacent properties. Acceptable storage locations include inside a garage, behind a fence/gate in the side yard, or behind landscape screening. Carts may be placed at the curb only from 6:00 PM the evening before pickup until the end of collection day. Carts stored in driveways or front yards in plain view at other times are cited. HOA CC&Rs often reinforce these rules with additional screening requirements. Code Enforcement Officers patrol neighborhoods and issue courtesy notices before escalating to administrative citations.
First: courtesy notice with 10-day cure. Continued violation: administrative citation $100, then $200, then $500 under FMC Chapter 1.24.
