Your private hauler sets Bay County cart rules - out by collection morning, lids closed, clear of obstructions. County property-maintenance code expects carts stored out of street view between pickups.
In unincorporated Bay County, the specific set-out rules come from whichever licensed hauler you subscribe to, but the pattern is standard: roll carts at the curb by early morning on your collection day or the evening before, lids closed, positioned away from mailboxes, utility poles, parked cars, and low branches so the truck arm can reach them. Overfilled or blocked carts get skipped. After pickup, bring carts in the same day; county property-maintenance rules expect them stored screened from the street - behind a fence, beside the house, or in the garage - not parked at the curb all week.
Carts left visible at the curb between pickups can draw a county code-enforcement notice under property-maintenance rules. Improperly placed or overfilled carts are simply skipped by your hauler.
