Lucas County itself sets no cart-storage rule. In Toledo, carts go out the night before pickup and must be promptly put away after collection. Other cities and townships set their own storage requirements.
Cart storage is a municipal matter, not a county rule. In the City of Toledo (Republic Services collection), carts should be set at the curb the night before your scheduled pickup and put away once collection is complete. Recyclables must be clean and free of food remnants before going in the blue container. Maumee, Oregon, Sylvania and unincorporated townships handle storage through their own service contracts or property-maintenance codes. Check your city's ordinances or your township for how long a cart may sit at the curb before it becomes a violation.
Enforced as a property-maintenance/nuisance violation by your city or township; penalties vary. Lucas County levies no cart-storage fine.
