Set-out rules
Cart and set-out rules in Petaluma.
Extra garbage has to be arranged by phone at least one day before your regular collection day, and it carries an added charge.
Once extra service is arranged you may set out 32-gallon plastic bags, but loose material will not be collected.
Place carts no more than two feet away from the curb or road edge, because the automated lifting arm reaches only three feet.
Keep three feet between each cart and any other cart, telephone pole, automobile or mailbox.
The arrows on the lid must point toward the street and the hinges must face away from it, or the lid or hinges may be damaged.
