Trash/recycling carts must be stored out of public view from the right-of-way between collection days. Visible storage in front yards or driveways is a property maintenance violation.
Plant City Code requires residents to store solid waste containers in a location not visible from the public street between collection days. Acceptable storage: side yard behind the front building line, rear yard, garage, or behind screening. Unacceptable: front yard, driveway forward of the house, or uncovered on a side yard visible from street. Carts may be placed at curb no earlier than 6 PM the day before collection and must be returned to storage within 24 hours after pickup. Code Enforcement issues warnings first, then civil citations.
Warning notice: 7-10 days to cure. Noncompliance: $50 first citation, escalating to $250+ for repeated violations. Chronic violators may face code enforcement board hearings.
