Rock County sets no countywide rule on trash-cart storage or screening. Whether bins must be stored out of view or off the street is decided by your city, village or town. In Janesville the city issues and services the carts under its municipal solid-waste program.
Container storage, screening and how long carts may sit at the curb are municipal decisions in Wisconsin, not county ones. The City of Janesville provides each single-family and 2-to-4-unit home a city refuse cart and recycling cart and runs curbside collection; other cities, villages and haulers set their own container rules. Rock County itself does not operate residential curbside trash service or dictate where you keep your cans, so the enforceable standard is in your municipality's solid-waste or property-maintenance ordinance. Confirm cart size, placement and storage rules with your city, village or private hauler.
Container violations are enforced by your municipality or hauler (warnings, missed pickup, or a municipal citation). Rock County does not cite residents over trash-can storage.
