Trash and recycling carts must be stored out of public view from the street between collection days. Visible storage in front yards is a code violation in unincorporated PBC.
PBC Code Chapter 14 and Property Maintenance Code require carts to be stored behind the front building line, screened by a fence or vegetation, or kept inside a garage. Carts may be at the curb only from 6 PM the evening before collection through 24 hours after pickup. HOAs commonly require complete screening at all times. Damaged or missing carts are replaced by SWA at no charge for the first replacement.
Improper storage: $50 first offense, $100 repeat, $250 chronic violator.
