Mansfield requires trash and recycling carts to be placed at the curb with handles facing the house, at least 3 feet from obstacles. Carts must be stored out of public view between collection days.
Proper cart placement is required in Mansfield to enable safe automated collection and to prevent carts from becoming a visual nuisance or code violation. Residents must place both trash and recycling carts at the curb on their assigned collection day with the cart lid opening and handles facing toward the residence, not toward the street. Carts must have a minimum clearance of 3 feet from all sides, including other carts, mailboxes, vehicles, light poles, fences, and low-hanging branches, so the automated truck arm can lift them without obstruction. Carts may not block sidewalks, bike lanes, or drainage paths. Between collection days, residents must store carts out of sight from the public street, typically behind a fence, inside a garage, or on the side of the house screened from front-yard view. Leaving carts in public view from the street for more than 24 hours after collection is a property maintenance violation subject to citation.
