5 rules for unincorporated Weld County, Colorado.
Verified from official government sources
There is no unincorporated Weld County trash-can ordinance; hauling is private. In Greeley, refuse containers may sit on the public right-of-way for only one 24-hour period within any seven-day period, and owners must keep premises clean and orderly.
Greeley Municipal Code § 12-269(a)
Nothing in this section shall prohibit the placement of trash, garbage or refuse containers for pick-up on public rights-of-way for one 24-hour period within a seven-day period.
Unincorporated Weld County has no standalone 'blight' code; land-use standards are enforced by Planning & Development Services Code Compliance under Chapter 23 Zoning, with state nuisance authority (CRS 30-15-401). In Greeley, storing an inoperable or unlicensed vehicle outside a garage is a code violation.
Greeley Municipal Code § 12-410
It shall be a Code violation... for any person... either as owner, lessee, tenant or occupant, of any lot or land within the city to park, store or deposit... an inoperable vehicle or unlicensed vehicle unless it is in a garage or other building.
Owners of vacant land must still control noxious weeds and refuse. Greeley's code makes it the duty of every owner of a vacant lot to keep it clean and orderly; unincorporated Weld vacant land falls under the county's noxious-weed and zoning rules.
Greeley Municipal Code § 12-269(a)
It is the duty of every person, whether owner, agent or tenant of any building, premises or vacant lot... at all times, to maintain the premises in a clean and orderly condition, permitting no deposit or accumulation of refuse or litter other than what is ordinarily attendant upon the use for which such premises are legally intended.
Neither unincorporated Weld County nor Greeley publishes a dedicated garage-sale permit or day-limit for an occasional home sale. Sales must not leave refuse behind, block the right-of-way, or turn into an ongoing unpermitted business. Check with your town if you live in one.
Unincorporated Weld County has no general grass-height limit, but its Noxious Weed Management Enforcement Policy declares listed noxious weeds a public nuisance and requires all landowners to manage them. Greeley separately enforces noxious-weed control and bans decaying vegetation.
Weld County Code § 15-2-10
The noxious weeds listed in Section 15-1-40 of this Code, at any and all stages, their carriers, and any and all premises and things infested or exposed to infestation therewith in the County, are declared to be a public nuisance.
