Huntsville requires residential trash bins stored out of public view from the street between collections, typically in side or rear yard or behind fence. Enforced through Huntsville Code property maintenance provisions.
Huntsville adopted the International Property Maintenance Code which requires waste containers be stored in a manner that does not create a nuisance. Carts left permanently at the curb or visible from the street between pickups can trigger code enforcement notice. Best practice is to store carts behind the front building line of the house, in the garage, or screened by landscaping or fencing. HOAs often impose stricter rules in newer Huntsville subdivisions like Hampton Cove, Providence, and Jones Valley. Commercial dumpsters must be screened per Huntsville zoning requirements.
Code enforcement issues warning first, then citations typically 50 to 250 dollars for repeat violations. Persistent violations may accrue daily fines.
