Garden Grove enforces trash bin storage requirements under its property maintenance standards. Residential trash, recycling, and green waste containers must be stored on private property and screened from public view when not set out for collection. Acceptable storage locations include behind a fence, inside a garage, or at the side or rear of the home where not visible from the street. Bins may be placed at the curb for collection no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before the scheduled collection day and must be retrieved and returned to a screened storage area by the end of collection day. Containers should be placed at the curb with lids closed, handles facing the street, and spaced at least three feet apart and three feet from obstructions such as mailboxes, parked cars, and utility poles. Overflowing bins, bins with lids propped open, and loose trash around containers are code violations. Republic Services provides residential waste collection in Garden Grove. Damaged or missing bins can be replaced by contacting the waste hauler.
