Morris County sets no countywide rule for how residents store or place trash cans. Container type, screening, and set-out timing are governed by your municipality's ordinances and its trash/recycling collector. The county's MCMUA handles the countywide solid-waste plan, not curbside cans.
The Morris County Municipal Utilities Authority (MCMUA) plans and implements the county's recycling and solid-waste programs, but day-to-day rules about trash and recycling containers are municipal. As the MCMUA notes, 'Much of the recycling that occurs in Morris County is performed by individuals with the help of their municipality, recycling collectors and recycling markets.' Rules on can type, lids, screening from view, and when bins may be placed at the curb come from your town's ordinances and your hauler. Check your municipal code and collection contractor for storage requirements, animal-proofing rules, and set-out windows in your neighborhood.
Container and storage violations are enforced by municipal code enforcement under local property-maintenance and solid-waste ordinances, typically by notice and fine.
