Williamson County does not regulate where you store trash cans outside city limits; screening is HOA territory. But under Tex. Health & Safety Code §343.011(c)(2), cans and rubbish left visible in a neighborhood 10 days or more are a public nuisance.
No county rule dictates screening or storage location for trash and recycling carts; those aesthetic requirements come from HOA covenants. The county's enforceable limit is Tex. Health & Safety Code §343.011(c)(2), which makes it a public nuisance in the unincorporated area to keep, store, or accumulate rubbish, including cans, on premises in a neighborhood or within 300 feet of a public street for 10 days or more, unless it is enclosed in a building or not visible from a public street.
Cans or rubbish left visible in a neighborhood for 10 days or more can draw a nuisance notice; a $50–$200 fine follows if unabated after 30 days.
