Set-out times come from your hauler, not the county. Bartenfelder wants recycling curbside by 4:00 a.m.; Havre de Grace sets containers out after 6 p.m. the evening before. Harford County publishes no countywide curb rule.
Harford County has no countywide rule for when carts go to the curb; timing follows your hauler's route. Bartenfelder Sanitation directs residents to set recycling out by 4:00 a.m. on the collection day. In Havre de Grace, the city's curbside guide tells residents to place containers out after 6:00 p.m. the evening before pickup and to remove empty carts promptly. Plastic bags are kept out of recycling countywide because they jam the single-stream sorting equipment. Store emptied carts off the public right-of-way; carts left standing at the curb can draw a nuisance complaint under the county Livability Code.
Carts left at the curb between collections, or refuse set out loose, can bring a Livability Code notice from county code enforcement, followed by fines and abatement charges if the condition is not corrected.
