Bin-placement rules come from your city or township. Holland residents set refuse in the front yard or right-of-way; rear-yard-service customers must place it within 75 feet of and plainly visible to the street.
Ottawa County sets no bin-placement standard; it is a city or township refuse ordinance. In the City of Holland, curbside residents place refuse in the front yard or nontraveled portion of the right-of-way, while customers who contract for rear-yard pickup must set garbage, refuse and recyclables within 75 feet of and plainly visible to the street or curb. Townships and their private haulers set their own placement distances, so confirm the requirement for your address.
Bins placed out of position or blocking the walk or road are a municipal violation and may be skipped or ticketed.
