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.
Weld County does not run municipal trash service in the unincorporated area, so container storage there is largely up to your private hauler and any HOA. Home-rule Greeley regulates it directly: under the city's environmental sanitation code, Section 12-269 makes it every owner's, agent's or tenant's duty to keep premises clean and orderly, and expressly allows placing trash, garbage or refuse containers for pickup on public rights-of-way for only one 24-hour period within a seven-day period. In practice, put your cart out near pickup day and bring it back within a day; leaving it at the curb all week is a violation. Evans, Fort Lupton and other Weld towns set their own container rules.
Leaving containers at the curb beyond the 24-hour window, or letting refuse accumulate, is a Greeley code infraction prosecuted under Title 1, Chapter 10 of the municipal code.
