Mayor Robert Lowery wanted to remind residents of the City’s trash can ordinance. Florissant City Hall has received numerous complaints that some residents are in violation of this ordinance and Mayor Lowery wanted to send out a friendly reminder about this ordinance.

The ordinance can be found under section 220.070:

Containers to be stored behind the front of the building. It states that no garbage, yard waste, trash or refuse container shall be left in front of a building for more than twenty-four (24) consecutive hours without returning the same to an area behind the front of the building or an area acceptably screened from the street, except on Sundays when no garbage or refuse container shall be left in front of the building between the hours of 12:01 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

The owner or occupant of any premises on which a container is located in violation of this requirement shall be deemed guilty of a violation hereof and shall be subject to the penalties provided in Section 100.080.
