Camden County does not regulate residential trash containers. Bin type, screening, and storage rules are set by each municipality's property maintenance and solid-waste ordinances.
How trash cans must be stored, whether they must be screened from the street, and container standards are municipal matters in New Jersey, not county functions. Camden County's environmental role covers solid-waste district planning through the Pollution Control Financing Authority of Camden County (PCFACC) and countywide recycling coordination, but curbside container rules are enforced locally. Municipalities such as Cherry Hill, Camden, Pennsauken, and Gloucester Township require covered, leak-proof containers and often bar keeping cans in front yards between collection days. Check your town's code for the exact standard that applies at your address.
Set by municipal ordinance; typically a warning followed by fines for uncovered, overflowing, or improperly stored containers.
