In Castle Rock, garbage containers may be set at the roadway or alley for pickup for no more than 24 hours. Between pickups, cans must be stored out of public view. Unincorporated areas follow HOA and hauler rules.
Castle Rock's property-maintenance code limits how long trash carts may sit at the curb: containers may be placed next to a public roadway or alley for trash pickup for a period not to exceed 24 hours. Otherwise cans should be stored beside or behind the home, out of street view. Because the Town and Douglas County do not run trash service, your private hauler (often Waste Management) supplies the cart, and HOAs frequently add screening rules. In unincorporated Douglas County there is no countywide bin-storage ordinance; the HOA and hauler contract govern placement and set-out timing.
Leaving containers curbside beyond 24 hours is a code-compliance violation in Castle Rock, addressed first by a notice; HOAs may separately fine members.
