Montgomery County does not regulate bin placement in unincorporated areas. Conroe Code Ch. 66 requires bins curbside by 7 AM and removed within 24 hours. The Woodlands covenants require bins stored out of public view between pickups.
Texas counties lack general nuisance authority over bin placement in unincorporated Montgomery County β no county ordinance governs when bins go to the curb in areas outside Conroe, Willis, Magnolia, Oak Ridge North, or Shenandoah. Private haulers may refuse service for improperly placed bins but county enforcement is absent. Conroe Code of Ordinances Ch. 66 requires solid waste containers placed at curb by 7 AM on assigned pickup day and removed within 24 hours after collection. The Woodlands Development Standards require bins stored in garage, behind privacy fence, or enclosed bin corral β never visible from street between collection days. Village-level DSC guidelines in Alden Bridge, Grogan's Mill, and Panther Creek enforce screening requirements. TX Property Code Β§202 allows HOAs to regulate visible storage.
Unincorporated: no county citation. Conroe: Ch. 66 violations $25-$200. The Woodlands: DSC written notice, HOA fines $25-$100 per occurrence, covenant enforcement available via civil action.
