Newark Property Maintenance Code (Ch. 1448, IPMC §308) requires trash and recycling bins to be stored on the property, not in front yards, and placed at the curb only for scheduled pickup, then returned promptly.
Containers must be rodent-proof, leak-proof, and watertight (IPMC §308.2). Stored containers must not be visible from the public right-of-way, which generally means behind the front building line or screened from view. Bins may be moved to the curb the evening before pickup and must be returned by the end of pickup day. Hauler-specific cart-day rules typically narrow this further (e.g., place out by 7 a.m. on collection day).
Stored-bin or curb-time violations are property maintenance violations under Ch. 1448 - typically a written warning first, then a fourth-degree misdemeanor citation (up to $250) under §698.02 with each day a separate offense.
