Full Breakdown
Cart placement in Marysville runs on a tight window. Marysville Municipal Code § 7.08.065 lets customers put garbage, excess-garbage, recycling and yard waste carts out no sooner than 24 hours before the truck comes, positioned at the edge of the right-of-way or curbline with lids facing the roadway and at least two feet of clearance between each cart. Carts have to come back in too: any container left at the curb more than two business days after collection can be hauled off by the utility, which then charges a fee to redeliver it.
Violations & Fines
Setting a cart out too early, blocking clearance, or leaving it curbside more than two business days after pickup can get it pulled by the utility department, with a redelivery fee charged to get it back, per § 7.08.065(4).
