Trash and recycling carts must be set out no earlier than 6 PM the day before pickup and returned to a screened location by end of collection day. Bins may not be visible from the street between collections.
Lawrenceville residents receive curbside solid waste service through a city-contracted hauler (historically Waste Management/Republic). The property maintenance code requires carts to be stored behind the front building line or screened from street view. Carts left at the curb more than 24 hours after collection are a common code-enforcement citation.
Warning first, then $50-$150 citation per occurrence.
