Residents in unincorporated Orange County must place bins curbside with wheels against the curb by 6:00 AM on collection day. Carts should be spaced approximately one foot apart and at least three feet from obstructions like parked cars, fire hydrants, and trees.
OC franchise haulers require bins placed at the curb with the wheels facing the curb no later than 6:00 AM on the scheduled collection day. Containers should be positioned side by side approximately one foot apart and at least three feet from any obstruction including parked vehicles, fire hydrants, mailboxes, and trees. Bins must be returned to private property after collection, typically by the end of collection day. Leaving bins at the curb outside of collection times may result in code enforcement action through OC Neighborhood Preservation. Inspections under SB 1383 enforcement occur when carts are placed in public areas for waste hauler pickup. Carts stored on private property are not subject to inspection. Residents must cooperate with inspection personnel checking for contamination.
Leaving bins at curb beyond collection day may trigger code enforcement notices. SB 1383 contamination violations result in warnings first, then notices of violation and potential fines or service denial.
