Mansfield requires residents to store trash and recycling carts out of public view between collection days. Carts left in the front yard or at the curb more than 24 hours after pickup violate property maintenance code.
Mansfield property maintenance standards require that trash and recycling carts be stored in a manner that keeps them out of public view from the street between collection days. This typically means storing carts inside a garage, behind a privacy fence, or in a side-yard area that is screened from front-yard view by fencing, landscaping, or the side of the house. Carts may be placed at the curb no earlier than the evening before the scheduled collection day and must be returned to an approved storage location within 24 hours after pickup. Violations are enforced by Mansfield Code Compliance and typically begin with a written notice providing a short compliance period, followed by citations if the violation continues. Chronic violations can result in administrative fines. The same rules apply to recycling carts, bulk items awaiting pickup, and dumpsters at residential properties. Multi-family properties and businesses are subject to separate dumpster screening standards requiring enclosures with opaque gates.
