Trash and recycling bins must be placed at the curb or designated collection point with at least 3 feet clearance from obstacles. Bins must be removed from public view within 24 hours after collection.
Per SWA collection guidelines and PBC Code Chapter 14, containers must be placed at the curb with handles facing the house and lids closed. Maintain 3-foot clearance from mailboxes, vehicles, fire hydrants, and other obstacles to allow automated truck arms to operate. Between collection days, bins must be stored out of public view from the street (behind a fence, in a garage, or screened). HOAs and municipalities often impose stricter screening requirements.
Bins visible from street between collection days: $50-$100 county code enforcement citation. HOA fines may also apply.
