Because Sumner County runs no countywide collection, bin placement follows your city or private hauler's instructions. Set carts out on collection day and bring them back promptly. Lake-area HOAs often add screening and setout rules.
The unincorporated county has no single curbside setout ordinance; placement rules come from whichever city collects your street or from the private hauler you subscribe to. Standard practice is to set carts at the curb the morning of or the evening before collection, with lids closed, spaced clear of mailboxes and parked cars, and to retrieve them the same day. Cities such as Gallatin and Hendersonville enforce their own cart rules. Many subdivisions around Old Hickory Lake are HOA-governed and require carts stored out of street view between pickups.
No countywide setout penalty applies. City ordinances and HOA covenants govern bins left out too long, and violations there bring warnings followed by fines under the applicable city code or association rules.
