Place carts at the curb or roadside for collection. When your setout point is farther from the road, franchised haulers charge distance fees—$4.00/month for 3–50 feet up to $9.80/month for 800+ feet—and locations over 50 feet are drive-in service. Follow your hauler's day and time.
Cart placement in unincorporated Clackamas County is governed by the franchised haulers' county-approved service policies. Standard service is curbside or roadside; if your cart sits farther from the collection point, a monthly distance (drive-in) fee applies on a sliding scale—about $4.00 for 3–50 feet rising to $9.80 for 800 feet or more, with anything over 50 feet classed as drive-in only. Carts should be out by the hauler's start time on your scheduled day, with lids closable and space around each cart so the truck arm can service it. Because these standards flow from the county franchise (Ch. 10.03) rather than a curbside-hours ordinance, exact setout times come from your assigned company.
No county citation for cart placement; instead, out-of-the-way setouts incur monthly distance/drive-in fees, and missed or blocked carts may not be serviced.
