Trash bin placement in unincorporated LA County varies by Garbage Disposal District (GDD). Generally, bins should be placed at the curb by 6 AM on collection day and retrieved within 12 hours after collection. Bins should not be visible from the street on non-collection days in most residential zones — they must be stored behind a gate, in a garage, or in a side yard. GDD regulations specify maximum bin placement distances from driveways and intersections. Bins must be placed with handles facing the street for automated collection. Overflowing bins may be tagged and not collected.
Leaving bins at the curb past the retrieval deadline may result in warnings and then fines of $50-$100 per occurrence, depending on the GDD. Bins left permanently at the curb violate Title 22 zoning standards with code enforcement fines of $100-$500 per day. Overflowing or improperly maintained bins creating a nuisance can be cited under health and safety regulations.
