HIGHWAYS: Prohibits leaving trash cans in the rights-of-way of state roads

HB 729 prohibits leaving trash cans in the rights-of-way of state roads after the day of regular curbside garbage collection. It requires residents and businesses using curbside pickup to remove receptacles by the end of the collection day. Violators face fines starting at $100 for a first offense, increasing to $300 for third or subsequent offenses. Local governments responsible for maintaining state road rights-of-way may enforce this rule.
