Waukesha County sets no bin-placement rule. Where and when carts go to the curb, and how far apart, is set by your municipality or its hauler. The county administers the recycling program but not individual setout rules.
Because collection is municipal in Waukesha County, rules on curb setout, timing (for example, no earlier than the evening before collection and removed the same day), cart spacing, and clearance from mailboxes, cars, and snowbanks come from your city, village, or town or from your contracted hauler's guidelines. The county provides recycling drop-off sites and administers the program as Responsible Unit, but does not issue a countywide bin-placement ordinance.
Setout-timing and placement violations are addressed by your municipality or hauler, not by county citation.
