Unincorporated Coconino County provides no carts and sets no bin-storage rule. Flagstaff assigns automated carts to the property and requires occupants to keep them clean, sanitary, and stored so they do not attract wildlife.
Because the unincorporated county runs no collection, it issues no carts and regulates no bin storage; how you keep containers is your own business until refuse spills into a public-health nuisance. Flagstaff is different. The city provides automated trash and recycling carts assigned to the property, not the occupant, and the occupant must keep them clean and sanitary. In this forest setting, storage also runs into the wildlife-attractant ordinance: carts holding garbage should be kept in a closed, bear-resistant state or an enclosed structure between pickups. Screening and appearance standards otherwise come from HOA covenants.
No county penalty attaches to where you keep cans in unincorporated areas, short of a nuisance under A.R.S. §36-601. Flagstaff can charge to replace carts damaged by misuse, and cite garbage left accessible to wildlife.
