Rochester Municipal Code §47 and suburban town codes require trash bins stored out of public view between collections. Bins placed curbside evening before or morning of pickup. Waste Management and Feher Rubbish collect throughout county.
City of Rochester §47-7 requires residential trash and recycling bins (city-issued totes) to be stored at the rear or side of the dwelling, screened from street view, between collection days. Bins may be placed curbside after 6 PM the day before collection and must be retrieved by 10 PM the collection day. Lids must close fully. Rochester DPW uses 95-gallon totes; illegal dumping fines start at $250. Monroe County towns (Greece, Irondequoit, Brighton, Penfield) have similar code provisions. Brighton §115-10 and Pittsford §175 enforce through code officers. Waste Management, Feher, and Suburban Disposal are primary haulers. Commercial dumpsters require screening per zoning codes. HOAs may enforce stricter rules.
First offense: written warning. Subsequent: $25-$100 per occurrence in Rochester §47. Chronic non-compliance: escalating fines. Illegal dumping: $250-$1,000.
