Summary
Eastvale limits how long trash, recycling, and organics containers can sit at the curb: Municipal Code Section 16.05.110 bars setting a container out more than 24 hours before pickup and requires it back out of public view within 24 hours after collection, and containers otherwise must stay off the public right-of-way.
(a)Use. Every person in charge of a premises shall:(1)Keep on the premises a sufficient number of containers to hold all solid waste, including gray container waste, non-organic recyclables, and organic waste that accumulate on the premises each week without spilling, leaking, or emitting odors.(2)Deposit or cause to be deposited all solid waste, including gray container waste, non-organic recyclables, and organic waste generated or accumulated on the premises into the proper containers in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.(b)Placement for collection. To minimize interference with public rights-of-way, no person shall place a container in a public right-of-way for collection by the appropriate solid waste franchisee more than 24 hours prior to the normal collection time. Containers placed in a public right-of-way for collection shall be removed from the right-of-way within 24 hours after collection.

Full Breakdown
110(a) first requires every person in charge of a premises to keep enough containers on site to hold a full week's worth of solid waste, recyclables, and organic waste without spilling, leaking, or emitting odors, and to deposit all of that material into the correct container. Subsection (b), placement for collection, then limits curb time: to minimize interference with the public right-of-way, no one may place a container in the right-of-way for collection more than 24 hours before the normal collection time, and containers placed for collection must be taken back off the right-of-way within 24 hours after collection.
Subsection (c) covers storage the rest of the week: except while a container is out for pickup, it must not be visible from the public right-of-way, and for single-family homes the city's separate neighborhood preservation standards cap total curb time for any container, including on pickup day, at 36 consecutive hours in any seven-day period. 510 for single-family generators.
Violations & Fines
Setting a container out earlier than the 24-hour window, leaving it at the curb longer than 24 hours after pickup, or leaving a container visible from the street outside those windows violates Section 16.05.110 and is enforceable under the chapter's general penalty provisions in Sections 16.05.720 and 8.17.060, which start at a $100 fine for a first infraction and rise to $500 for a third offense within a year.
