Unincorporated Washington County sets no rule on where you store trash carts or whether they must be screened from the street. Your private hauler provides the cart; storage and appearance fall to HOAs or city code.
Outside the cities, the county neither supplies carts nor dictates where you keep them. You get your container from the private hauler you subscribe to, and no county ordinance requires it be hidden behind a fence or beside the house between pickups. That is simply not a power the county exercises in unincorporated areas. Its interest starts only if refuse spills and piles up, at which point it becomes an accumulation the county can abate under Ark. Code 14-14-813. Rules requiring bins out of street view come from homeowners association covenants or, inside the cities, from municipal code.
No county penalty attaches to a visible or curbside-stored cart. Enforcement appears only if overflowing refuse becomes an abatable nuisance under Ark. Code 14-14-813, or an HOA covenant is broken.
