Unincorporated Lee County issues a 95-gallon cart set at the roadside on your Meridian Waste collection day. There is no county screening ordinance; how you store the cart between pickups is a city or HOA matter.
Meridian Waste collects from a county-issued 95-gallon cart placed at the road edge on your route day, generally out the night before or by early morning and pulled back afterward. Carts should sit clear of mailboxes, parked cars, and low branches so the automated truck arm can reach them. Lee County sets no ordinance on where the cart lives the rest of the week or whether it must be hidden from the street; that comes from a homeowners association covenant or, inside Auburn and Opelika, the city's own placement rules. Overloaded or blocked carts may simply be skipped.
The county issues no citation for cart placement. A blocked or overfilled cart may be skipped by the hauler, and an HOA or city can enforce its own screening rules, but neither is a county penalty.
