How you store trash containers is a municipal matter in Gloucester County. Deptford and West Deptford issue automated carts and direct where they sit on collection day; local property-maintenance codes bar overflowing or uncovered refuse. No single county rule governs bin storage.
Trash-container storage falls to each municipality, since collection itself does. In automated-cart towns like Deptford and West Deptford, the town issues the 64-gallon tote and sets curbside placement for the mechanical arm, but leaves storage between collections to the homeowner. What every Gloucester County town enforces through its property-maintenance code is the condition of refuse: containers must be kept so garbage does not overflow, attract vermin, or create odor, and cans left permanently at the curb or in the front yard can draw a nuisance citation. Screening requirements — keeping bins beside or behind the house — come from individual ordinances and HOA covenants.
Overflowing, uncovered, or improperly stored refuse that becomes a nuisance violates the municipal property-maintenance code, drawing a notice to abate and, if ignored, a municipal court fine.
