Because private haulers collect in Columbia County, day-to-day cart placement follows your hauler's instructions. County code requires that containers never overflow or stay unclosed, and most Evans and Martinez HOAs add their own cart-screening rules.
Columbia County has no uniform curbside setout schedule, since collection is handled by whichever private hauler you contract. What the county code does regulate is the condition of your containers: waste must be stored in a receptacle that stays closed and does not overflow, and any waste held on-site must move to a permitted facility within 14 days. Containers must be kept sanitary and cannot become unsightly, odorous, or a rodent or insect harbor. In practice the strictest placement and storage rules come from HOAs across Evans and Martinez, which typically require carts stored out of street view and set out no earlier than the evening before pickup.
Overflowing or uncovered containers and unsightly waste storage are code violations, each day a separate offense. HOA cart-storage fines are enforced separately by the association.
