Daviess County, KY Trash & Recycling: Bin Placement Rules (2026)

051 fixes the point and timing of solid waste collection. The point of collection is the roadside or curbside within the public right-of-way at the nearest public road to the residence, commercial establishment, or industrial facility, or another location approved by the County Judge/Executive or a designee. For residential or agricultural uses specifically, containers must be placed along the roadside or curbside of the nearest public road, or the public street fronting the property, no more than 12 hours before a scheduled collection, and all reusable storage containers must be removed from the roadside or curbside within 12 hours after collection.

That two-part window is the county's core bin-placement rule: carts cannot sit out for days before or after the truck comes. Containers used for bulky waste or construction or demolition debris get different treatment: whenever reasonably feasible, they are to be kept on private property in a location easily accessible to a collection vehicle rather than left at the curb long-term. 035, are likewise to be placed at the curb, roadside, or alley for collection where pickup service is provided. The section also authorizes the Judge/Executive to designate an alternate collection location when curbside placement is not practical for a given property.
