Because Greenville County provides no countywide curbside collection, bin-placement and setout rules in unincorporated areas are set by your private hauler, not a county ordinance. County Code §9-123 still requires owners to keep the property free of scattered litter and refuse.
Unincorporated Greenville County has no county curbside garbage program, so there is no county rule dictating where or when to place a cart at the curb; those setout times and placement distances are set by whichever private hauler a household hires. Residents who self-haul instead take waste to a Residential Waste & Recycling Center. What the county does require is property cleanliness: under County Code §9-123, the owner is responsible for removing litter and refuse from the property, so overflowing or scattered trash around a container is the owner's responsibility. Inside incorporated cities, the municipality sets specific cart-placement rules for its curbside program.
Scattered trash or refuse left around bins is abatable under County Code §9-123 by Code Enforcement (864.467.7090). Hauler setout rules are enforced by the private company or city.
