Perris, CA Property Maintenance: Trash Bin Storage (2026)

The City of Perris regulates trash-cart storage under Perris Municipal Code Chapter 7.16 (Rubbish Collection and Disposal). According to the City's code-enforcement guidance, trash receptacles and recycling containers cannot be stored on a resident's property where they are visible from the street, and they cannot be stored on the public right-of-way. This means carts should normally be kept behind a fence, in a side or rear yard, in a garage, or otherwise screened from public view between collection days. The same chapter limits how long carts may sit at the curb: containers may be placed at the curb or in the alley no earlier than twelve (12) hours before collection and must be removed within twenty-four (24) hours after collection. The set-out and placement rules are timing-and-screening requirements separate from the general blight code, though leaving carts out continuously can also be treated as a nuisance. Because Perris contracts collection to a single franchised hauler (CR&R, Inc.), only the color-coded carts the hauler provides are serviced. Cart-storage violations are enforced by the City of Perris Code Enforcement Division, which can be reached at (951) 385-4131; collection-account questions go to the hauler, CR&R.
