In unincorporated Richland County, roll carts go at the curbside of the nearest public road by 7:00 a.m. on collection day and must be brought back in once emptied or by 7:30 p.m. Keep carts out of ditches and storm drains.
Richland County Code Sec. 12-20 requires the county roll cart to be placed at the curbside of the nearest public road no later than 7:00 a.m. on the day of collection, and removed by the resident once collection is complete or no later than 7:30 p.m. The same timing applies to the recycling cart under Sec. 12-22. Carts should be positioned so trucks can service them and should not block the road, sidewalk, or a neighbor's access. The county's stormwater rules (Sec. 26-203) make it the owner's duty to keep yard trash and debris out of gutters, inlets, catch basins, and ditches, which also governs where carts and loose waste may sit.
Carts left at the curb past the removal deadline, or blocking rights-of-way, can prompt a code-enforcement notice; unresolved conditions may be cited under Chapter 12 with fines up to $500.
