Reedley requires trash, recycling, and organics containers to be placed curbside by 6:00 AM on collection day with lids closed and carts spaced at least 3 feet apart. Containers left in the front yard after the scheduled pickup day are classified as a property nuisance under Reedley City Code Section 4-2-3. Bins must not be blocked by parked vehicles and should be retrieved promptly after service.
The City of Reedley contracts with Mid Valley Disposal for exclusive residential waste collection services. Residents receive three containers for trash, recyclables, and organics. On collection day, containers must be placed at the curb by 6:00 AM with lids fully closed. Carts must be spaced at least 3 feet apart and positioned so they are not blocked by parked vehicles, fences, or other obstructions. Reedley City Code Section 4-2-3 specifically identifies receptacles for discarded materials and recyclables that remain in the front yard beyond the regularly scheduled refuse pickup day as a property nuisance. Property owners and tenants are responsible for retrieving containers from the curb after service is completed. Overflowing containers, containers with lids propped open by excess material, or containers placed in a manner that blocks sidewalks or driveways may also trigger code enforcement action. The nuisance provisions under Chapter 2 of Title 4 authorize the city to issue administrative citations for violations. Residents needing additional container capacity should contact Mid Valley Disposal at (559) 237-9425 to request a larger cart or supplemental service rather than overloading existing bins.
Leaving trash bins in the front yard beyond the scheduled pickup day is a property nuisance under Reedley City Code Section 4-2-3. Code enforcement officers may issue a notice of violation requiring correction. Failure to comply may result in administrative citations with monetary penalties payable within 15 calendar days. Repeated violations can lead to escalating fines and abatement proceedings at the property owner's expense.
