No countywide rule fixes when carts go to the curb in Licking County. In the townships your private hauler sets timing. Newark and Heath direct city residents to set carts out near collection day and bring them back promptly.
In the unincorporated townships there is no ordinance dictating set-out hours, spacing between carts, or where bins sit between pickups; you follow your hauler's route and retrieve carts the same day. The timing and screening rules people ask about are municipal. Newark and Heath both expect carts placed at the curb the evening before or the morning of collection, with lids closed, and taken back in promptly, and their property-maintenance codes discourage carts stored in front-yard public view. A homeowners association covenant can add stricter storage rules. The county steps in only when spilled or overflowing refuse becomes a nuisance.
No county set-out or screening citation exists in the townships. Spilled refuse can be abated as a nuisance; inside the cities, cart storage and set-out violations draw code-compliance warnings and fines.
