Norfolk County has no bin placement rule. Each town's DPW regulations or contract terms specify curbside placement time, retrieval deadlines, and storage between pickups.
Bin placement rules in Norfolk County are municipal. Typical requirements across Norfolk County towns: bins curbside by 7 AM on collection day, lids closed, handles toward the house, spaced 3+ feet apart and clear of mailboxes, fire hydrants, and parked cars. Retrieval is required within 12-24 hours after pickup. Between collection days, most town bylaws (Quincy, Brookline, Dedham) require bins stored out of public view — typically in a garage, behind a fence, or beside the house. Enforcement is handled by code enforcement officers, not the county.
No county enforcement. Municipal bins left out: warning first, $25-$100 per occurrence. Improperly placed bins may be skipped by haulers.
