Macomb County sets no rules on where residents store trash carts. In Michigan, bin-storage and screening requirements are set by each city or township through its property-maintenance ordinance and local collection contract.
The county does not regulate residential trash-can storage or screening. Rules about keeping carts out of front-yard view, screening bins, and how long containers may sit at the curb are established by your city or township, usually within its adopted property-maintenance code or refuse ordinance. Because most Macomb communities arrange collection through a municipal contract with a private hauler (such as GFL or Priority Waste), cart type and placement follow that local program. Check your city or township ordinances and hauler guidelines for storage and screening rules.
Storage and screening violations are cited by the municipality under its own property-maintenance or refuse ordinance, typically as a civil infraction with a warning and escalating fines. There is no county penalty for trash-bin storage.
