Under Lynwood Municipal Code, garbage cans stored in front or side yards and visible from public streets are a listed nuisance condition. Containers may only be set at the curb for collection, not stored in public view year-round.
LMC Section 3-13.2(q)(10) lists 'garbage cans stored in front or side yards and visible from public streets and rights-of-way' among the conditions declared a public nuisance, so residents must keep carts out of street view between collections. Section 9-1.11 requires each occupant to provide a container for rubbish and garbage, and Section 9-1.12 limits older-style cans to 6 cubic feet or 45 gallons and 60 pounds filled (the franchise hauler provides standard wheeled carts). Placement and timing follow Sections 9-1.18 and 9-1.19: containers go at the curb, may not be set out before 6:00 p.m. the evening before collection, and must be promptly removed after pickup. Improper storage is enforced through the Section 3-13 nuisance-abatement process.
Garbage cans visible from the street in front or side yards are a nuisance under Section 3-13, subject to notice and abatement. Containers left out beyond collection day violate Section 9-1.19's prompt-removal rule.
