Summary

Davis County sets no countywide trash-can storage rule. Each city contracts its own hauler, and residents separate garbage and recycling into the carts provided. Cities generally expect carts kept out of public view except on collection day.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Davis County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Each city contracts with a waste hauler for curbside garbage, recycling, and green waste recycling.

Full Breakdown

Curbside cart service in Davis County is arranged city-by-city: the Wasatch Integrated Waste Management District notes that each city contracts with a waste hauler for garbage, recycling and green-waste carts. There is no single county storage ordinance; container-storage and screening rules live in each city's property-maintenance code, where left-out or overflowing cans can be cited as a nuisance. Households with a recycling cart must sort recyclables and trash into their separate carts. Contact your city or hauler for cart sizes, replacements and where carts must sit for pickup.

Violations & Fines

Overflowing or improperly stored cans may be cited as a nuisance under your city's property-maintenance code, typically after a warning notice and a compliance deadline.
