Madison County issues the cart and sets your collection day by street name, but no ordinance fixes a set-out hour in unincorporated areas. Put the county cart out on your scheduled day; only county carts are serviced.
Bin placement in unincorporated Madison County runs off the Waste Control Department's schedule, not a set-out ordinance. The county assigns your pickup day based on the first letter of your street name, and you roll the county-issued cart to the curb on that day. There is no county rule setting an exact hour to put it out or pull it back, and no screening requirement dictating where the cart sits between collections. Only carts provided by the county are serviced, so a private can left at the curb will be passed by. Storage and appearance rules, if any, come from an HOA.
The county issues no citation for early or late set-out. A cart placed after the truck passes is simply skipped until the next scheduled pickup, and appearance rules are an HOA matter.
