Frequently Asked Questions
How early can I put out my trash bins?
Most HOAs allow bins to be placed at the curb the evening before collection (after 5-6pm) or the morning of collection. Check your specific rules.
What if I'm traveling and can't retrieve my bins?
Arrange for a neighbor to bring them in, or notify the HOA in advance. A single incident due to travel is usually excused with explanation.
