Elyria residents set carts on the curb-lawn between 5:00 p.m. the day before and 7:00 a.m. on collection day, keep three feet of clearance with wheels facing away from the street, and must remove carts the same day collection is made.
Elyria's Sanitation rules cover timing, spacing, and removal. Carts go on the curb-lawn no sooner than 5:00 p.m. the day before and no later than 7:00 a.m. on the collection day. Keep three feet of clearance around each cart, including between the green and black carts, and place the wheels facing away from the street so the automated arm can grab them. Carts must be removed from the tree lawn the same day collection is made. These rules sit in Chapter 959 of the Codified Ordinances. Other Lorain County cities set comparable set-out and removal windows.
Leaving carts out past collection day, blocking the automated truck, or crowding carts can result in a missed pickup and enforcement under Chapter 959.
