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

070 governs where residents and businesses may put out containers for the city's weekly collection. For residences with street frontage, carts must be placed for collection at curbside in front of the residence, wheels in the gutter, handle facing the residence, and kept at least three feet from any obstruction, including automobiles, trailers, motor homes, fences, lampposts, portable basketball hoops, mailboxes or other automated containers; carts cannot block pedestrian access. Residences with alley access instead set carts on private property adjacent to the alley property line, base on a stable, level surface, handle facing the residence, again with the three-foot clearance from obstructions.

on the scheduled collection day, and that requirement applies on holidays too, so there is no holiday shift to the collection calendar. If a truck has already passed before a resident sets out a late container, the resident can request an extra pickup, but the city charges an additional fee for that return trip. 070(B): garbage receptacles must sit where they are convenient for city removal, city-approved trash enclosures are for refuse equipment only, and businesses cannot store other equipment or material inside them. 070(C) gives the environmental utilities director or a designee authority to set the size and specifications of every container used under the chapter. The section was last amended by Ordinance 6953 on June 4, 2025.
