Full Breakdown
Simpsonville's automated collection trucks need clear access to each cart. The city directs residents to have the black Simpsonville cart on the curb by 7 a.m. on their pickup day, with the front of the can facing the roadside so the truck arm can grab it. At least three feet of clearance must be maintained around the cart from vehicles, mailboxes and other objects, and residents must not park a motor vehicle in front of the cart. All trash must be bagged and inside the can: bags placed outside the cart are prohibited. Bulk items and white goods have their own setback: at least 3 feet from the curb edge and 5 feet from obstructions.
Violations & Fines
A cart that is blocked, facing the wrong way, or has less than 3 feet clearance is skipped; the resident must re-set it on the next collection day.
