Montgomery County, PA sets no countywide rule on how you store garbage cans. Each municipality's property maintenance code requires exterior areas be kept free of accumulated rubbish and garbage stored in approved covered containers. Norristown and other towns bar leaving cans at the curb between collection days.
The county does not regulate where residents keep trash containers. Under each municipality's property maintenance code (usually the International Property Maintenance Code), owners must keep exterior property free from accumulation of rubbish or garbage, and all garbage must be stored in leakproof, covered containers. Many Montgomery County boroughs and townships also require cans be moved from the curb or public right-of-way within a set time after pickup and stored beside or behind the dwelling. Because these details are municipal, confirm setback and screening requirements with your local code enforcement office.
Municipal maintenance citation; typical starting fines around $50 per ticket, rising for repeat or uncorrected violations.
