Trash-container rules are set by your city or township, not the county. In Holland, refuse must go out in approved containers or approved disposal bags, kept so they do not create or allow a nuisance.
Ottawa County does not regulate household trash cans; that is a city or township refuse ordinance. The City of Holland requires residential refuse to be set out in approved containers or approved garbage disposal bags, and refuse must be kept in a container suitable to prevent a nuisance. Holland Board of Public Works (HBPW) bills and services the weekly curbside program. Townships contract their own haulers with their own container rules, so verify the standard for your address.
Improper or overflowing containers are a municipal ordinance violation; Holland can issue civil infractions and refuse pickup until corrected.
