Prior Lake City Code Section 5-23 requires garbage cans and refuse containers to be stored out of public view except on pickup day. Trash must be stored in covered receptacles and removed regularly.
Section 5-23 mandates that garbage cans and other garbage/refuse containers be located so as to be out of the public view except on the day of pickup. Bins can typically be placed at the curb the evening before pickup and must be returned to a screened or behind-the-house storage location by the evening of pickup day. Solid waste, garbage, trash, and rubbish cannot be piled on the property; solid waste must be stored in a trash receptacle with a lid and removed from the premises on a regular basis. Open-air piling of yard waste, household trash, or construction debris is a public nuisance.
Improper trash storage is a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 per offense. Continuing violations trigger abatement and removal of the trash at the owner's expense plus administrative fees.
