Rock County sets no countywide bin set-out rule. When and where to place carts at the curb, and how soon to remove them, are decided by your city, village or hauler. Janesville requires carts placed at the curb on your collection day per its city solid-waste program.
How far apart to space carts, which way the lids face, curb-versus-alley placement and set-out timing are operational rules of the collection provider, not the county. In Janesville, residents set the city refuse and recycling carts at the curb for automated collection following the city's guidelines; other municipalities and private haulers issue their own instructions. Rock County neither collects residential waste nor regulates cart placement. For the exact set-out window and spacing, follow the cart guidelines from your city, village or hauler, and remove carts promptly after pickup if your municipality requires it.
Improper placement typically means a missed pickup or a courtesy notice from the municipality or hauler; repeat issues may draw a municipal citation. The county is not involved.
