Huntsville requires garbage and recycling carts placed within 3 feet of curb, handle facing the street, with at least 3 feet clearance from mailboxes, vehicles, and other obstacles for automated truck access.
Automated collection trucks require unobstructed access. Place carts with wheels and handle facing away from street (lid opens toward street). Maintain 3-foot clearance on all sides including from parked cars, mailboxes, utility poles, other carts, and low-hanging branches. Do not place carts under overhead wires or tree limbs below 14 feet. Carts may not be placed in the street or on sidewalks. If a cart is not accessible the driver will skip it and residents must wait until the next scheduled pickup. Carts must be stored out of public view between collections, typically behind the front building line, per Huntsville nuisance provisions.
