Carts must be placed curbside by 7 AM and removed within 24 hours of pickup. Fall River and New Bedford cite repeat offenders. Carts must be stored out of public view between pickups.
Bristol County municipalities require trash and recycling carts placed at the curb or alley edge on collection day with lids fully closed. Carts should face the street with handles toward the house, spaced at least 3 feet from parked cars, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and utility poles. Carts must be retrieved within 12 to 24 hours after pickup. Left-out carts in Fall River, New Bedford, and Taunton can trigger blight citations under local property maintenance bylaws. Between pickups, carts must be stored in a garage, side yard, or screened area out of public view from the street. Fall River requires storage behind the front building line. Winter snow storage cannot block cart placement.
Carts left out past 24 hours: warning then $25 to $100 per occurrence. Improperly placed carts may be skipped by the hauler. Blight citation for chronic violations: $100 to $300.
