The Sanger Municipal Code Chapter 8.04 and the city's franchise agreement with Mid Valley Disposal regulate trash container storage and placement. Bins must be stored out of public view except during the collection window, and containers set out improperly or left at the curb beyond the retrieval deadline are subject to code enforcement.
Sanger regulates trash bin storage through its solid waste franchise ordinance in Chapter 8.04 of the Sanger Municipal Code. Residential customers receive standardized 32-, 64-, or 96-gallon carts from Mid Valley Disposal for trash, recycling, and green waste. Bins may be placed at the curb no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before the scheduled collection day and must be returned to a non-visible storage location by 8:00 PM on collection day. Acceptable storage locations include side yards, rear yards, or garages. Containers must remain upright with lids closed to prevent litter, odor, and vector attraction. Overflowing bins, loose bags placed outside the cart, or containers stored in front yards or driveways between collection periods are subject to enforcement under the nuisance abatement provisions of Chapter 8.04 and the general nuisance chapter 8.20. The city works with the hauler to issue courtesy notices before moving to formal warnings and fines. Extra waste beyond cart capacity must be scheduled as a bulky pickup through Mid Valley Disposal or taken to the Fresno County disposal facilities.
