Oxnard has specific rules for bin placement on collection day including position at the curb, spacing between bins, lid orientation, and clearance from obstacles. Improper placement may result in missed pickup.
Oxnard requires residents to follow specific bin placement guidelines for reliable collection service. Bins must be placed at the curb or alley edge with handles facing the street and lids closed. Each bin must be at least 3 feet from other bins, parked cars, mailboxes, utility poles, and other obstructions. Bins should not block sidewalks, driveways, fire hydrants, or storm drains. In areas without curbs, bins should be placed at the edge of the paved surface. Oversized items must not be placed on top of or beside bins unless a bulky item pickup is scheduled. Bins placed incorrectly may be skipped by automated collection trucks. On windy days common in the Oxnard Plain, lids must be secured to prevent waste from blowing out.
Improperly placed bins may not be serviced. Bins blocking sidewalks or fire hydrants may result in code enforcement citations.
