Macomb County sets no bin-placement rules. In Michigan, where carts go on collection day, curb distance, and spacing are set by each city or township and its contracted hauler.
The county does not regulate how residents position carts on collection day. Rules on distance from the curb, spacing between trash and recycling carts, clearance from mailboxes and vehicles, and set-out and take-in times come from your city or township refuse ordinance and its hauler's automated-collection requirements. Communities using automated arm trucks typically require a few feet of clearance between and around carts. Confirm exact placement rules with your municipality and your hauler.
Improperly placed carts may simply be skipped by the automated truck; repeated set-out-time violations can draw a municipal civil-infraction notice. The county imposes no bin-placement penalties.
