Full Breakdown
City curbside collection in South Jordan runs on a fixed clock under section 7.02.030: containers must be City-issued, set at the edge of the street where a truck can reach them, and put out no earlier than the evening before your scheduled day and no later than 6:30 AM that morning. Once the truck empties them, they have to come back off the street the same day, leaving them out longer isn't allowed under this section. Owners are also on the hook for keeping containers clean, packaging fluids separately, and letting ashes cool before they go in the bin. Any violation of these curbside rules is an infraction.
Violations & Fines
Setting containers out before the evening cutoff, missing the 6:30 AM deadline, or leaving them out past pickup day violates section 7.02.030 and is charged as an infraction.
