Set-out times come from each town, not the county. Plymouth requires trash and recycling curbside by 7:00 AM on the collection day, and carts must be pulled back promptly afterward. Brockton and the towns set their own hours by hauler route.
No county rule governs when or where bins go to the curb; each community sets its own. Plymouth directs residents to place trash and recycling curbside by 7:00 AM on the scheduled day and to remove empty carts the same day. Brockton set-out follows its municipal route schedule. In Marshfield, Scituate, Duxbury, and Wareham, timing tracks the hauler contract or transfer station hours rather than a fixed curb rule. Local boards of health can regulate container placement and containment under their MGL c.111 §31 authority, and leaving carts or loose refuse at the curb for days can prompt a nuisance notice.
Bins put out early, or carts and refuse left at the curb after collection, can draw a board of health warning and a sanitary code citation of up to $500 per day if not corrected.
