Showing ordinances that apply to New Port Richey East, FL
New Port Richey East is an unincorporated community (population 11,015) in Pasco County, Florida. Because New Port Richey East is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Pasco County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The trash bin storage rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Pasco County Solid Waste requires trash and recycling carts to be set out no earlier than 6 PM the night before collection and retrieved by the end of collection day. Bins must be stored out of public view.
Pasco County Utilities Solid Waste Division provides curbside collection to unincorporated residential properties using wheeled carts (standard 95-gallon). Per Pasco County Code of Ordinances Ch. 110 (Solid Waste), residents must place carts at the curb no earlier than 6:00 PM on the day prior to collection and must remove them from curbside by 6:00 AM the day after collection. Between collection days, carts must be stored out of view from the public right-of-way, typically in a garage, behind a fence, or beside the house with screening. Carts must be placed at the curb at least 3 feet from obstacles (mailboxes, vehicles, utility boxes) with the lid opening facing the street. Overflowing carts, improperly bagged yard waste, and construction debris may result in non-collection and tagging. Bulk waste (furniture, appliances) is collected on scheduled days or by appointment. HOAs in deed-restricted communities often enforce stricter screening requirements through covenants. Hurricane debris has separate staging rules during declared emergencies.
First violation: warning from code enforcement. Subsequent violations: fines $50-$250 per occurrence under FL §162.09. Repeated non-compliance: escalation and potential lien. HOA fines separate.
