Collin County has no countywide bin placement rule. City ordinances and private hauler contracts govern curb timing, typically placing bins out no earlier than 6 PM the night before pickup and removing by end of collection day.
Unincorporated Collin County residents contract privately with Community Waste Disposal, Waste Connections, Republic, or self-haul to the Farmersville Transfer Station (operated by NTMWD under interlocal agreement). No county ordinance sets placement times because general-law counties lack property-maintenance code authority. Cities impose specific windows: Plano Β§6-107 requires carts at curb no earlier than 6 PM day before, removed by 8 AM day after; Frisco Β§50-6 requires carts out no more than 12 hours before pickup and removed within 12 hours after; McKinney Β§50-55 requires storage behind front building line except 12 hours before/after pickup; Allen Β§98-63 mirrors 12-hour window. Cart must be 3 ft from mailbox, cars, and obstacles for automated trucks. TX HSC Ch. 343 public-nuisance statute applies if uncollected waste creates rodent/insect harborage. HOAs under TX Property Code Ch. 202 often add screening requirements.
No county fine. City fines $25β$200 first offense. HSC Β§343 nuisance: Class C misdemeanor up to $200 first offense.
