Trash, recycling, and compost carts must be stored out of view from the public street between collection days, typically behind a fence or beside the home.
Salt Lake City Code Chapter 9.08 and property maintenance rules require that waste carts be kept out of public view between collection days. Carts cannot be stored in front yards, in the park strip, or on the sidewalk except during the 24-hour collection window. Acceptable storage locations include the side yard behind a gate, rear yard, garage, or an area screened from street view. Violations are typically handled with a warning followed by civil penalties if not corrected.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
