Set-out rules come from your city or hauler, not a countywide ordinance. Carts go curbside on collection day with lids closed and wheels toward the house, and should be pulled back the same day.
No single county rule governs cart placement; it follows your service provider. Richland's Solid Waste Utility, Waste Management in Kennewick, and Basin Disposal elsewhere all use automated trucks, so carts must sit at the curb by the route's morning start with lids closed and a few feet of clearance from mailboxes, parked cars, and other carts. Wheels and handles face the house so the automated arm can reach the cart. Retrieve empty carts the same day. Carts left at the curb for days can prompt a city nuisance complaint and code-compliance follow-up.
Improperly placed or overfilled carts may be skipped by the automated truck. Carts left out well beyond collection day can bring a city nuisance notice and code-compliance action.
