Garbage containers in Castle Rock may be placed next to a public roadway or alley for pickup for no more than 24 hours. Outside that window, bins must be kept on private property and out of general view under the Town's property-maintenance standards.
Even though collection is private, the Town regulates where and how long containers may sit at the curb. The Town states "Garbage containers may be placed next to a public roadway or alley for trash pick up for a period not to exceed 24 hours." This keeps bins from becoming a standing streetscape nuisance. Combined with the rule that "Any accumulation of rubbish, trash, or solid waste is not allowed" and that sidewalks must remain unobstructed, the standards require residents to roll bins back promptly after pickup. Report bins left out too long at CRgov.com/ReportAConcern or call the Zoning Division at 720-733-3557.
Containers left at the curb beyond 24 hours may prompt a Code Compliance reminder, then enforcement action if not corrected.
