Bin placement set by town/village, not the county. Typical rule: place at curb no earlier than evening before pickup, retrieve within 12-24 hours. Bins must not block sidewalks, hydrants, or traffic sight lines.
Collection day bin placement rules are municipal. Most Rockland towns and villages require containers placed at the curb or designated collection point no earlier than 6 p.m. the evening before pickup and removed within 12-24 hours after collection. Bins cannot block sidewalks, ADA ramps, fire hydrants, driveways, or traffic sight lines. Village of Nyack, Suffern, Piermont, and Haverstraw are walkable villages where sidewalk obstructions are actively enforced. Wheeled carts must be placed with wheels toward the house and lid closed. Some neighborhoods with HOA covenants add stricter storage requirements.
First warning; continuing violations $25-$100. Blocking hydrant or ADA ramp: higher fines possible.
