Davie, FL Property Maintenance: Trash Bin Storage (2026)

Container storage and set-out in Davie are governed by Town Code section 9-25 ('Receptacle requirements') in Chapter 9, Article II. Receptacles 'shall not be kept upon town or public property' and must be positioned in side or rear areas except within twelve (12) hours prior to regular collection, and must be relocated to the side or rear within eight (8) hours after collection. Where the Town authorizes curb placement, containers may be set 'between the curbline and abutting property line' but only within that 12-hour window, and 'at no time shall any receptacle, or trash be placed in streets, gutters or on sidewalks.' Section 9-26 requires receptacles sufficient to hold a four-day accumulation of garbage, and section 9-31 makes it unlawful to scatter or disturb the contents of receptacles set out for collection. The Town's solid-waste guidance (operated through Coastal Waste & Recycling, the franchised collector since June 1, 2021) tells residents to place carts within two feet of the street and at least three feet from trees, cars, mailboxes or poles before 7 a.m. on collection day, set them out no earlier than 7 p.m. the previous evening, keep the lid closed, place nothing on top, and stay under a 75-pound limit.
