Sumter rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Sumter, delivery or commercial vehicles may not park on a residential street at any time, day or night, except for the reasonable time needed to make or receive deliveries.
Sumter's city code keeps delivery and commercial vehicles off residential streets except for the time needed to make or receive deliveries, and no vehicle may stay on any street for more than 30 minutes between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. Obstructing a street or sidewalk needs permission from the city manager first, vehicles may not block driveways or park between the curb and the property line, and posted time limits are enforced on Sundays and holidays. Cardboard boxes go to the curb separately for recycling, and furniture may not go in the roll-a-waste cart.
