Perris, CA Trash & Recycling: Bin Placement Rules (2026)

Cart placement in Perris is governed by Perris Municipal Code Chapter 7.16 (Rubbish Collection and Disposal) and enforced by the City's Code Enforcement Division. The chapter establishes a set-out window: trash receptacles and recycling containers may be placed at the curb or in the alley no earlier than twelve (12) hours prior to collection, and must be removed within twenty-four (24) hours after collection. Between collection days, carts must be kept out of public view — the City's code-enforcement guidance states that trash receptacles and recycling containers cannot be stored on the property where visible from the street, and cannot be stored on the public right-of-way. In practice this means screening carts behind a fence, in a side or rear yard, or in a garage. On collection day, the franchised hauler CR&R services carts with an automated arm, so carts should be set with wheels toward the house, lids closed, and spaced apart with clearance from cars, mailboxes, and other obstructions; collection can begin early (around 6:00 a.m.), so carts should be out before then. Because Perris uses an exclusive franchise, only CR&R-provided carts are collected. Placement and storage violations are enforced by City Code Enforcement at (951) 385-4131, while missed-pickup and cart-condition issues are handled by CR&R at (951) 943-1991.
