NEWS YOU CAN USE
Town Trash Can and Parking Rules – This is a reminder of our town trash can and parking rules that went into effect on May 1, 2025 under Ordinance 2024-09.
- Trash cans can’t be on the curb before 12:00 pm the day before pickup and must be removed by the end of the day of pickup. To view the trash schedule that code enforcement follows click here.
- At all other times, trash cans must be placed in a location that is not plainly visible from the street.
- Yard waste (leaves, twigs, etc.) must be placed in sturdy paper bags or open-topped containers. Larger items (tree limbs, palm fronds, etc.) must be neatly stacked at the curb.
- No street parking is allowed on the town-owned portion of Seabrook Island Road (the public portion of the roadway outside of the SIPOA Gate). Parking in yards is also not allowed. For a full list of detailed parking rules click here.
- For violations that are observed with trash cans or parking, officers are issuing white warning citations by taping them to the mailbox of the property at which the violation was observed. If officers observe that a specific property is a repeat offender then it is within the right of the code enforcement officer to issue an ordinance summons. You can find the penalty fees here.
