Trashcans and other trash or recycling containers should be prohibited from being placed on the streets (or in clear public view) prior to the beginning (midnight) of the day before the scheduled day for pick-up and they should be required to be taken in prior to the end (midnight) of the day after pick-up. In other words, trashcans should only be allowed on the street for a maximum of 72 hours, centered on the scheduled day for pick-up. Trashcans taken out before or left out after their prescribed times will subject their owners to littering fines due to their unaesthetic nature.
