Cobb County Code §102 requires bins be placed at curb no earlier than 6 PM day before pickup and retrieved within 24 hours after service. Bins must be stored out of public view between collections.
Cobb County Code Chapter 102 (Solid Waste) and the Zoning Ordinance §134 cover residential waste container placement. Bins (cans or wheeled carts) may be placed curbside no earlier than 6 PM the evening before pickup and must be retrieved within 24 hours of collection. Between pickups, containers must be stored behind the front building line — out of view from the public right-of-way. Lids must remain closed. Do not block sidewalks, mailboxes, fire hydrants, or stormwater inlets. HOAs in East Cobb, Vinings, and Lassiter often impose stricter screening requirements, sometimes requiring bins behind a gate or in a side-yard enclosure at all times.
Bin visible from street outside pickup window: Code Enforcement warning, then $50–$200 per occurrence. Repeated violations escalate to Magistrate Court.
