Trash, recycling, and organics bins in Orange must be placed curbside by 6:00 AM on collection day and retrieved by end of day. Bins must be stored behind the front building line on non-collection days under city property maintenance standards.
Under the City of Orange's property maintenance standards and waste collection requirements, trash, recycling, and organics bins must be placed at the curb by 6:00 AM on the scheduled collection day. Bins should be placed with lids closed, at least 3 feet apart from each other and 3 feet from obstacles (mailboxes, parked cars, fire hydrants). Bins should not block sidewalks, driveways, or bike lanes. After collection, bins must be retrieved and stored behind the front building line — typically in a side yard, rear yard, or garage — and not visible from the street on non-collection days. CR&R Environmental Services ((714) 372-8272) handles collection for all residential properties.
Leaving bins at the curb on non-collection days or storing bins visible from the street may result in code enforcement notices, warnings, and fines for repeat violations.
