The City of La Habra sets the timing and placement of solid-waste carts through its Trash Container Removal Policy, codified at La Habra Municipal Code Section 18.77.040 C 7. Refuse and green-waste containers may be placed at the curb no earlier than 4 p.m. on the day preceding collection and must be removed by 10 p.m. on the collection day. At all other times, trash and green-waste containers must be stored out of public view and not visible from the street. Carts should be set at the curb so they do not obstruct sidewalks, driveways, or the public right-of-way, and visible or improperly stored containers can obstruct street sweeping. For larger temporary bins or dumpsters, front-yard visibility is allowed only
Carts placed out before 4 p.m. the prior day, not removed by 10 p.m. on collection day, left in public view between collections, or obstructing the right-of-way may be cited under LHMC 18.77.040 C 7 (Code Enforcement 562-383-4134).
