Pursuant to the Kauai County Code, Chapter 21, the rules regarding proper use of refuse carts are as follows:  

• Carts should be put out for collection no earlier than the afternoon before their pickup day. (Tuesday)
• The cart lid must be in the fully closed position prior to pickup.
• Carts should be placed at least 5 feet away from any object(s) such as mailboxes, fences, poles, and fire hydrants, with at least 16 feet of clearance above the cart from wires or trees. The carts must be placed with the handle away from the street.
• Only dry trash should be placed in refuse carts.
• Items with liquids should be drained prior to placing in refuse carts.
• All trash must be bagged prior to being placed in refuse carts to prevent windblown litter.
• Only trash contained inside the refuse cart will be picked up.
• Trash should only be placed in your assigned refuse cart and not in someone else's cart.
• Carts must be put away by Wednesday evening. 

All trash containers must be stored in the garage or on the side of the house screened from view. The containers should not be placed in front of the garage or in another highly visible area.
