2022 Ordinance Update

Hauler-issued trash and recycling containers may be stored within two feet of any side of your home. No screening is required. Any additional containers, however, must be screened from view or stored inside your garage.

The previous ordinance required all containers be screened or stored inside your garage. Current hauler-issued containers are often too large to be kept inside garages and can be challenging to screen.

Homeowners associations may have additional screening requirements.
