St. Clair County sets no countywide rule for when to put bins at the curb or where to store them between pickups. The county requires approved covered containers on-site (SCC 29-3-54); curb set-out timing and screening are set by your city or your private hauler.
The county Property Maintenance Code (29-3-52 to 29-3-54) dictates that trash and rubbish be stored in approved covered, leakproof containers and that premises stay free of accumulation - but it does not fix a curbside set-out window or require bins be screened from the street. Those set-out and placement rules (how early bins may go out, how soon they must be brought back, screening requirements) are municipal. Because the county runs no collection service, there is no county curb schedule to enforce. Residents inside a city should follow that municipality's bin rules; unincorporated residents follow their hauler's instructions.
No county set-out penalty. On-site storage that violates Ch. 29 (uncovered/accumulating waste) is a petty offense (SCC 29-1-36). Municipal placement rules are enforced by the city.
