Logan, UT Trash & Recycling: Bin Placement Rules (2026)

Section 8.32.160(A) sets two clocks for household refuse. The first governs the set-out: refuse goes in an authorized refuse container on the curb in front of the residence, no more than twenty four (24) hours before the established collection day for the area. The second governs retrieval: empty containers come off the street before the end of the collection day, and no container stays on a street longer than twenty four (24) hours after being emptied.

What counts as an authorized container comes from § 8.32.010. A refuse container is a receptacle of sufficient size, shape, condition, and material, as authorized by the responsible authority, to hold refuse for collection, disposal, reuse, or composting. The definition of gallons adds that an ordinary refuse container has a minimum capacity of approximately sixty (60) gallons.

Subsection (C) controls how full the container can be. Refuse must sit in the container so the lid can be reasonably closed, and excess refuse on top of, next to, or overflowing from the container is overloaded. The authority can answer overloading with service restrictions under § 8.32.070. Business containers designed for the curb, normally 100 gallons or less, follow subsection (B): they are placed at the time and place the responsible authority designates, with the same empty-container removal rules.

Neighboring sections cover the ground around the cart. Under § 8.38.020(D) and (E), owners and occupants whose property borders sidewalks, strips, and alleyways keep them free of litter, and sweeping litter from sidewalks and steps into the street is unlawful; sweepings go into refuse containers. Section 8.38.040(A) makes it unlawful for anyone not authorized to put refuse into a container not designated for their use.
