Wichita requires specific placement of trash and recycling containers for collection. Carts must be positioned at the curb with handles facing the house and lids closed, and must be stored properly between collection days.
Trash and recycling carts must be placed at the curb by 7:00 AM on collection day, with handles facing the residence and lids closed. Carts should be at least 3 feet from mailboxes, utility poles, parked cars, and other obstructions. On collection days, carts must be placed within 3 feet of the curb edge. Between collection days, carts must be stored behind the front building line, in a garage, or otherwise screened from public view. Carts should not block sidewalks or driveways.
Improper bin placement may result in missed collection. Leaving carts at the curb between collection days or in front of the building line may result in a nuisance code violation.
