Trash and recycling containers in Babylon must be stored in a side or rear yard and may only be placed at the curb after 6 PM the day before pickup. Empty containers must be removed from curbside by 6 PM on collection day under Town Code Chapter 167.
The Town Code requires rigid, covered containers of 20-32 gallons for garbage, with heavier items requiring private hauler pickup. Containers left at the curb in public view outside of the designated window are a violation of Chapter 167 and also implicate the Property Maintenance standards in Chapter 152. Front-yard storage of bins is prohibited except in the collection window. Bins should be stored on a hard surface behind the front building line.
First offense is typically a warning. Subsequent violations can result in fines of 100-250 dollars. Repeated violations can be charged as a public nuisance.
