Trash and recycling carts in unincorporated San Bernardino County must be stored out of public view between collection days. Visible carts on non-collection days trigger citations.
San Bernardino County Code property-maintenance provisions require that trash, recycling, and organics carts be stored out of public view between collection days. Acceptable locations include side yards behind fences or gates, garages, rear yards, or screened storage areas. Carts visible from the public right-of-way or adjacent residential property on non-collection days constitute a property-maintenance violation. This rule applies countywide but is more strictly enforced in Valley communities (Phelan, Crestline, Fontana unincorporated, Rialto unincorporated) than in rural desert areas. In mountain communities like Big Bear and Lake Arrowhead, bear-resistant containers are encouraged or required in certain areas due to wildlife. Hobbyist collection of multiple carts beyond the standard trash/recycle/organics set requires approval from the franchised hauler and payment of additional service fees. Report chronic violations to Code Enforcement at (909) 884-4056.
Trash cart stored in public view: administrative citation starting at $100, escalating to $200 and $500 for repeat offenses within 12 months.
