Trash and recycling carts must be placed at the curb on collection day with a three-foot clearance on all sides. Carts cannot be stored in front yards between pickups and must be returned to side or rear yards.
Converse requires residents to place carts at the curb by 7:00 AM on collection day and remove them by the end of that day. Between collections, carts must be stored out of public view, typically behind a fence line, in the side yard, or in the garage. Leaving carts at the curb or visible in the front yard between pickups is a code enforcement violation. Carts should be positioned with the handle toward the house and wheels toward the street so the automated arm can lift them. Keep at least three feet of space between the cart and mailboxes, parked vehicles, fire hydrants, recycling bins, and low tree branches. Do not place carts under overhead wires or in a way that blocks sidewalks or drainage ditches.
