St. Johns County collection carts belong at the curb only on collection day and stored out of view the rest of the week. County code enforcement bars open storage of trash and debris, and HOA and CDD covenants add screening rules across the county's deed-restricted communities.
The county issues wheeled collection carts and expects them managed, not parked permanently at the road. Carts go out no earlier than the evening before pickup and come back in the collection day, then stored beside or behind the house out of street view. St. Johns County code enforcement independently prohibits the open storage of junk, garbage, trash, and debris on a property, so overflowing or uncovered refuse becomes a violation regardless of the container. The tighter rules come from covenants: HOA and CDD communities across Nocatee, Ponte Vedra Beach, and World Golf Village routinely require trash and recycling carts screened from the street or kept in a garage or enclosure except on collection day.
Leaving carts at the curb all week, storing refuse in open view, or letting garbage overflow violates St. Johns County code enforcement's open-storage rules, drawing a notice to abate and, if ignored, escalating fines. HOA covenants cite separately.
