Trash bin storage and placement set by town/village code, not by Rockland County. Typical rule: store bins behind front building line or in side yard; set out no earlier than 6 p.m. day before collection and retrieve within 12 hours after pickup.
Rockland County Solid Waste Management Authority (RCSWMA) handles disposal and recycling infrastructure, but curb collection and bin storage rules are set municipally. Most Rockland towns (Ramapo, Clarkstown, Orangetown) and villages require bins to be stored behind the front plane of the house, in a side or rear yard, or in a garage — not visible from the street. Typical setout window: between dusk the evening before collection and pickup time; retrieval required within 12-24 hours after collection. Bins must be tightly covered to prevent attracting wildlife (raccoons, bears are occasional in western/northern Rockland). Some villages require specific wheeled carts.
First warning typical; continuing violations $25-$100 per offense. Accumulated bins or uncovered containers attracting vermin can escalate to property maintenance violations.
