Montgomery County, PA sets no rule on bin placement. Your borough, township or hauler dictates where and when to place trash and recycling containers at the curb, and property maintenance codes require cans be pulled back and stored out of view after collection.
Container set-out is governed municipally, not by the county. Each Montgomery County borough, township or contracted hauler specifies the collection day, the set-out window (often no earlier than the evening before), which side of the property, and how far from obstacles bins must sit. After pickup, most municipal property maintenance codes require cans be removed from the curb or right-of-way within a day and stored beside or behind the dwelling. Recyclables must be separated per your municipality's Act 101 program. Confirm the exact timing and placement with your local public works or hauler.
Municipal property maintenance citation for cans left out too long; missed collection for improper set-out is handled by the municipality or hauler.
