Set-out times are municipal, not countywide. Washington Township bars putting trash or recycling at the curb earlier than 6:00 p.m. the evening before your collection day, and requires trash, recycling, and yard debris in three separate designated cans.
Because collection runs municipally, so does the rule on when and how containers go out. Washington Township is specific: nothing may reach the curb before 6:00 p.m. the evening before pickup, and the three streams must be sorted into their own cans, since three separate trucks make the rounds. Yard debris goes loose in the township's green cart, no plastic bags. Deptford issues a 64-gallon automated tote that must be positioned for the mechanical arm. West Deptford runs the same automated-cart system with its own placement rules. No countywide ordinance fixes a single set-out hour.
Setting containers out early or leaving them curbside past collection day draws a municipal ordinance warning and, on repeat, a local fine. Carts placed after the truck passes are skipped until the next scheduled day.
