Carts must be placed at the curb no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before collection and removed by 7:00 AM the day after. Cart wheels should be against the curb with the lid hinge facing the street. Maintain 3 feet of clearance from cars, mailboxes, hydrants, and trees, and keep carts at least 5 feet apart.
Proper bin placement is essential for safe and efficient automated cart collection by Waste Management trucks in Corona. Carts must be placed at the curb (or street edge if no curb) with the wheels against the curb and the cart lid hinge facing the street. Maintain a minimum 3-foot clearance on all sides of each cart from any obstruction, including parked vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants, light poles, low-hanging tree branches, basketball hoops, and other carts. Keep recycling, trash, and organics carts at least 5 feet apart from each other to allow the truck's mechanical arm to grasp each independently. Do not place carts in driveways, behind cars, or under trees with branches lower than 14 feet (the truck arm requires vertical clearance). Lids must close fully; overfilling causes spillage and the cart will not be collected. Maximum cart weight is 200 pounds. Place carts curbside no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before your collection day and remove them by 7:00 AM the day after collection. Carts left at the curb beyond this window or stored visible from the street between collections violate Municipal Code Chapter 8.16 and may result in code enforcement notices. On corner lots, place carts on the street with regular collection (not the side street) unless arranged otherwise.
