Trash and recycling bins must be stored out of public right-of-way view between collection days, typically behind the front building line or within a screened enclosure.
West Valley City Municipal Code requires that solid waste containers be stored so they are not visible from the public street except on collection day. Acceptable storage includes behind a fence, in a garage or carport, or behind the front plane of the main building. Cans left visible at the curb or in the front yard on non-collection days may result in a warning followed by a civil fine. Code Enforcement typically issues a 7 to 10 day notice to cure before citation.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
