Where towns provide carts, residents must store garbage and recycling bins out of street view except on collection day. York County's rules focus on keeping waste contained so it does not become a nuisance.
Trash-cart storage is handled locally. In Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, Clover, and York, residents receive rolling carts and are expected to keep them stored beside or behind the house, out of front-yard and street view, except on collection day when carts go to the curb. Lids must stay closed so animals cannot scatter the contents. In the unincorporated county, where there is no curbside service, the concern is instead that household waste be kept in covered containers and not allowed to accumulate outdoors as a nuisance. Overflowing, uncovered, or long-stored garbage that draws vermin can trigger property-maintenance enforcement.
Leaving carts at the curb long after pickup, storing them in front-yard view, or letting uncovered garbage accumulate can bring warnings and fines under town or county nuisance rules.
