Showing ordinances that apply to Inverness, CO
Inverness is an unincorporated community (population 2,226) in Arapahoe County, Colorado. Because Inverness is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Arapahoe County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The bin placement rules rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Arapahoe County cities require bins curbside on collection day with lids closed, 3+ feet apart, and retrieved within 12-24 hours. Aurora City Code §138-73 and Centennial Municipal Code §7-8 specify bin storage out of public view between pickups. HOAs may impose stricter rules.
Bin placement rules vary by jurisdiction but follow similar patterns. Aurora City Code §138-73 requires trash and recycling containers to be placed at the curb no earlier than 6 PM the evening before collection and removed from the curb within 12 hours after pickup. Bins must be stored out of public view from the street between collections. Centennial Municipal Code §7-8 mirrors these rules with a 24-hour retrieval window. Bins must be placed on a hard surface (concrete or asphalt), at least 3 feet apart to accommodate automated truck arms, at least 3 feet from fixed objects (mailboxes, utility poles, parked cars), with lids fully closed and handles/wheels facing the house. Overfilled bins with lids propped open may be rejected. In alley-served neighborhoods (parts of Aurora, Englewood, Littleton), bins go to designated alley placement areas. HOAs in Centennial, Aurora master-planned communities, and Cherry Hills Village often specify screened storage areas.
Bins left out past deadline: warning first, then $25 to $100 per occurrence in Aurora and Centennial. Habitual violations: escalating fines. Blocking sight lines at intersections: immediate removal order.
