In Port St. Lucie, residential garbage and recycling carts must be kept indoors or screened from street view in a rear or side yard, and carts may only be placed curbside for collection.
Port St. Lucie Code Chapter 80 requires residential curbside carts to be kept indoors, or in a rear or side yard screened from view by walls, fences or hedges, or otherwise stored out of view from abutting streets. Carts may not be set curbside earlier than 6:00 p.m. the day before collection and must be removed from the curb the day of collection. In unincorporated St. Lucie County, Code Sec. 38-26 requires that abandoned property be stored in an enclosed structure and that garbage, trash and junk not be accumulated outdoors; each city sets its own cart-screening rules.
Port St. Lucie issues a solid-waste citation; a cart-placement/screening violation carries a $35 first-offense civil penalty, rising to $70 for repeat offenses.
