After a declared emergency, the city solid waste division coordinates debris pickup separate from regular trash service. Sec. 32-66(a)(4) bars hazardous waste from city containers at all times. Yard waste from storm-downed trees must be cut to specified lengths and placed curbside per active disaster orders.
Kissimmee Solid Waste (407-518-2596) coordinates post-disaster debris pickup with FEMA reimbursement requirements. Sec. 32-67(4) covers normal yard-waste rules: vegetation pieces over 4 ft long or 3 inches diameter must be cut and bundled, max 50 lbs per bundle. After a state of emergency declaration, the city typically suspends these limits and posts disaster-specific guidance separating vegetative debris, construction/demolition debris, white goods (appliances), and household hazardous waste. Ch. 14 (Civil Emergencies) grants the city manager authority to suspend collection rules during declared emergencies per Sec. 14-22. Burning hurricane debris is still prohibited under Sec. 24-52 unless specifically authorized by FFS and the Fire Department.
Improper debris placement during normal operations: Sec. 1-22(b)(26) — $100 minimum-maintenance fine. Burning unauthorized debris: Sec. 1-22(b)(17) — $100.
