Allen County sets no countywide cart-placement or setout-timing rule. Bin placement is governed by the collection provider: Fort Wayne's cart program for city residents, town ordinances in New Haven and the towns, or your private hauler's requirements in unincorporated areas.
Because Allen County does not run curbside collection, there is no single county ordinance dictating how far from the curb a cart must sit or when it may be set out. Fort Wayne residents follow the City of Fort Wayne cart program's placement and setout rules; New Haven and the towns set placement rules by municipal ordinance; and residents in unincorporated Allen County follow their private hauler's contract terms. General property-maintenance rules still apply: under Allen County Code 6-8-6-3, exterior property must be kept clean and sanitary, so carts and loose refuse cannot be left to create an unsanitary or blighting condition between collections.
Placement violations are enforced by your city, town, or hauler, not the county. Leaving carts or spilled refuse to create an unsanitary condition can violate Allen County Code 6-8-6-3 ($1-$500/day).
