Trash, recycling, and organics carts must be stored out of public view between collection days. Storage in front yards or visible from the street is a property maintenance violation under the Rancho Cordova Municipal Code.
Residents must store refuse containers behind the front building line of the home, inside a garage, or otherwise screened from public view between collection days. Placement at the curb is permitted only from the evening before collection until the end of collection day. Containers should not block sidewalks, bike lanes, driveways, or fire hydrants when set out. On collection day, carts need at least 3 feet of clearance from other carts and fixed objects for the automated arm. Code Enforcement can cite homeowners whose carts remain visible from the public right-of-way between collection cycles. HOAs in Rancho Cordova commonly enforce cart screening rules more strictly through CC&Rs. Apartments and condos with shared enclosures must keep dumpsters inside screened enclosures with closed gates.
First violations usually receive a courtesy warning from Code Enforcement. Continued violations may result in administrative citations starting around 100 dollars under the municipal code.
