Guilford County runs no curbside program in unincorporated areas, so it sets no county-wide trash-bin storage or screening rule. Your licensed private hauler dictates the cart, and inside Greensboro or High Point the city's bin rules apply. County law only bars uncovered loads and improper dumping.
Because unincorporated Guilford County has no county curbside service, container type and placement are set by the licensed private hauler you hire (Republic Services or GFL/Waste Industries). The county's Solid Waste Ordinance regulates how waste is transported and disposed, not how residents store bins. Sec. 15.5-3 requires solid waste be transported in adequately covered vehicles or containers. Screening or setback rules for carts are municipal matters handled by Greensboro and High Point. Keep waste in a covered receptacle so it is not scattered, which the county and NC litter law both require.
Scattering, spilling or improperly disposing solid waste is a nuisance under Ch. 15.5; civil penalties run $150-$500 (residential) up to $3,000 (commercial).
