Unincorporated Bell County sets no cart-placement rule. In Killeen, carts must go to the curb no earlier than 8 p.m. the night before and no later than 7 a.m. on collection day, at least four feet from obstacles.
Setout timing is a city matter; the county has no ordinance. Killeen requires the city roll-out container at the curb with the handle and wheels toward the residence, at least four feet from mailboxes, cars, and other obstacles, placed no earlier than 8 p.m. the evening before and no later than 7 a.m. on the collection day. Yard waste must be at curbside by 7 a.m. as well. Temple issues comparable setout guidance through its solid-waste division. Rural residents follow their private hauler's instructions.
Non-compliant or early setout is addressed by the city solid-waste division; repeated violations may bring a municipal citation. No county penalty applies.
