Washington County franchise rules require carts placed at the curb by 6 AM with wheels to the house and a 3-foot clearance. Carts must return out of public view within 24 hours of pickup, per hauler and city codes.
Cart placement standards are set by the franchise hauler in compliance with Washington County Solid Waste rules and OSHA ergonomic requirements for automated side-loader trucks. Carts must be positioned on the curb or alley with wheels toward the house and handle facing the street, spaced at least 3 feet from other carts, parked cars, mailboxes, fire hydrants, and utility poles to allow the truck's mechanical arm clearance. Carts must be set out by 6 AM on service day. Lids must close flat — overflow cannot be bagged and stacked on the lid. Carts must be retrieved from the curb within 24 hours of collection and stored out of public view between collections per Beaverton BC 9.05, Hillsboro HMC 8.20, Tigard TMC 11.04, Tualatin TMC 6-2, Sherwood Municipal Code 9.10, and Washington County property maintenance provisions. HOAs in Bethany, Oak Hills, and Sherwood's Murrayhill commonly require storage in garage or behind a screen. Snow/ice or tree overhang that blocks the mechanical arm will result in a skipped pickup.
Carts left at curb past 24 hours: $25-$100 per occurrence. Habitual violations: $250 escalating. Blocked pickup/inaccessible carts: skipped with no makeup service.
