Lee's Summit requires trash and recycling containers screened from street view between pickups, stored on the premises, and set at the curb only on the scheduled collection day.
Under Code Sec. 25-86, containers must be screened so they are not visible from any street, public or private alley, roadway, or parking lot except when placed in position for pickup. Residential containers must be stored upon the residential premises (Sec. 25-89), be leakproof and fitted with a flytight lid (Sec. 25-87), and may be wheeled to the curb or alley only on the regularly scheduled collection day (Sec. 25-121). Roll-off and portable storage containers have separate placement and duration limits under Property Maintenance Code Section 310. HOAs may impose stricter screening.
Bins left in view between pickups or set out early violate Chapter 25 and the Property Maintenance Code; penalties range from $50 for a first offense to $500 for repeat offenses.
