No countywide rule dictates where you store trash carts between pickups in Licking County. Screening and set-out timing are city or HOA matters. The county acts only when refuse spills or accumulates into a nuisance.
In the townships, collection is by private subscription, so the county neither issues carts nor tells you where to keep them; no ordinance requires bins hidden behind a fence, and none limits how long a cart may sit at the curb. Those rules are municipal. Newark and Heath both address cart set-out and discourage containers stored in front-yard public view under their property-maintenance codes, or the limit comes from an HOA covenant. The county's interest begins only when refuse overflows, spills or piles up, at which point the accumulation can be abated as a nuisance after written notice. Keep lids closed and carts from overflowing.
No county penalty attaches to a visible or curbside-stored cart in the townships. A citation follows only if spilled refuse becomes a nuisance, or a Newark or Heath code or an HOA covenant is broken.
