Chino Hills residents pull WM carts to the curb the night before or by 6:00 a.m. on collection day, and the City's Code Enforcement Division treats carts left visible from the street between pickups as a violation, so bins must be stored out of public view.
Cart placement in Chino Hills follows the WM (Waste Management) franchise and City code-enforcement standards. The City's Trash Services page tells residents to 'Pull your carts to the curb the night before or no later than 6:00 am on your collection day' using the three 95-gallon carts (black for trash, blue for recyclables, green for organics). For curbside set-out, carts are generally placed with lids closed and spaced apart so the automated truck arm can service them; the City directs residents to WM for specific clearance instructions. After collection, carts must be brought back and stored out of public view: the City's Code Enforcement Division specifically lists 'Trash Carts (cans/bins) Visible from the Street' among the violations it responds to. That means carts should not remain at the curb after collection day or be stored where they are visible from the street, such as in front of the home; a garage, side yard, or screened area is the expected storage location. The City's public pages do not specify an exact return-by deadline or curb setback distance in feet, so confirm details with WM or Code Enforcement. These are City of Chino Hills rules.
Carts left out beyond collection day, or stored where they are visible from the street, are a code-enforcement issue and can prompt a notice of violation. Set carts out no earlier than the night before and return them to an out-of-view storage location after pickup.
