Unincorporated Clay County sets no curbside set-out hour or bin-screening rule. Your private hauler decides when carts go out. Storage and appearance rules, if any, come from a city code or HOA covenant.
Bin placement in the unincorporated county follows your hauler's contract, not a county ordinance. There is no countywide rule fixing an exact hour to roll carts to the curb, how far apart they sit, or where they must be stored between pickups. Practically, you set carts out the evening before or morning of your hauler's route and bring them back the same day. Rules that require bins screened from the street or stored beside the house come from a homeowners association or, if you live inside a city, that city's property-maintenance code — Gladstone and Liberty both regulate cart storage. The county's only interest is spilled refuse becoming a nuisance.
The county issues no set-out or screening citation in unincorporated areas. Spilled or accumulating refuse can be abated as a public nuisance under RSMo 67.398; appearance rules are an HOA or city matter.
