Apopka Code Chapter 18 requires carts to be stored out of street view between collection days. Violations start with a warning and escalate to daily fines. Storage in side yard, rear yard, or garage is required.
Apopka property maintenance code requires trash and recycling carts to be stored behind the front building line of the dwelling or within an enclosed garage or behind a visual screen. Carts visible from the public right of way on non-collection days constitute a property maintenance violation. Corner lots must screen carts from both street frontages. HOAs commonly impose stricter visibility standards. Code Enforcement responds to complaints and conducts routine sweeps. Carts damaged by the homeowner (not normal wear) are the homeowner responsibility to replace at Solid Waste replacement cost.
First notice: courtesy warning with 7-day cure. Second violation: 50 dollar citation. Continuing violation: up to 250 dollars per day under Chapter 2 special magistrate.
