Broward County property maintenance standards require residential trash and recycling containers to be stored out of sight from public streets between collection days, with violations subject to code enforcement fines.
Broward County property maintenance codes and municipal ordinances require residential trash and recycling containers to be stored in a side yard, rear yard, garage, or behind an approved opaque screen between collection days. Containers must not be visible from the public street or right-of-way except during the permitted pickup window from 6:00 PM the prior evening through 8:00 AM the day after collection. HOA and condominium associations may impose stricter storage requirements. Commercial dumpsters require masonry or fence screening enclosures with solid gates. Code enforcement violations typically begin with a courtesy warning, escalating to fines of $50-250 per day for continued noncompliance, with liens placed on properties for unpaid fines.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
