Sioux City, IA Trash & Recycling: Bin Placement Rules (2026)

Solid waste materials or yard waste containers shall not be placed in the right-of-way for residential collection more than twenty-four hours prior to the regular collection day for that property unless specific authorization is obtained from the city manager or his designee. All solid waste materials or yard waste containers must be removed from the right-of-way within twenty-four hours of collection. Compliance with these requirements shall be the responsibility of the owner of record of the real property upon which the solid waste materials or yard waste containers are placed. However, if the real property has been leased by a landlord to a tenant, and if the landlord identifies the name and address of the offending tenant within 48 hours of any notice of violation, the city may enforce compliance with these requirements against the tenant. All solid waste materials or yard waste containers placed in the right-of-way more than twenty-four hours prior to the regular collection day for that location are subject to a special collection by the city. Any person who violates this section shall upon first violation be issued a written warning of the violation and given notice that subsequent violations will subject the violator to fines as provided in Section 1.04.100 of this code and to special collection fees as provided in Section 5.20.160 of this code.
