In unincorporated Bostonia, County Code requires residents to place solid-waste and recycling containers so they do not create a traffic, aesthetic, litter, or other problem. Containers must be adequately sized to avoid overflow, and set-out bags must be tied or sealed for collection.
San Diego County Code SEC. 68.563(c) provides that property owners and persons receiving residential, commercial, or industrial service must ensure storage containers are placed on the premises so as not to create a traffic, aesthetic, litter, or other problem. The Departments of Planning & Development Services and Public Works share responsibility, with Public Works responsible only for containers in County-maintained road right-of-way. SEC. 68.563(a)-(b) requires containers adequate in size and number to hold all refuse without overflowing and that plastic/paper bags be tied or sealed when set out. Your hauler sets set-out timing and curb rules.
Improperly placed or overflowing containers can be addressed as a nuisance; enforcement is by the Authorized Enforcement Official, who may cite under SEC. 68.581 after seeking voluntary compliance.
