In Wright County cities, trash and recycling carts must be stored out of street view between pickups and kept from overflowing. Buffalo, Monticello, and St. Michael enforce this through their property-maintenance codes.
How you store carts is a city matter in Wright County, since collection runs through cities and private haulers. Property-maintenance codes in Buffalo, Monticello, and St. Michael require trash and recycling carts kept out of public view between collection days, beside the house, behind a fence, or in the garage, not parked permanently at the curb or in the front yard. Carts go out the evening before or morning of pickup and come back the same day. Lids must close, and refuse cannot overflow, spill, or attract vermin. In winter, keep carts back from the curb line so plows can pass. HOAs often add stricter screening rules.
Carts stored in public view, left at the curb, or overflowing draw a property-maintenance warning, then fines around $25 to $100 per occurrence, escalating for repeat violations.
