Hillsborough County Code Chapter 62 requires refuse containers stored so not visible from public right-of-way between collection days. Containers must have tight-fitting lids and be maintained in sanitary condition. Screening via fence, landscaping, or side yard placement acceptable.
Storage requirement covers garbage, recycling, and yard waste carts. Carts visible from street between pickups trigger code enforcement. Acceptable screening methods include side yard behind gate, rear yard, garage, or opaque fence. Carts in front yard or driveway visible from street are violations. Lids must close completely to prevent pest access and odor.
Warning notice issued first, then Code Enforcement Board hearing if uncorrected. Fines up to 250 dollars per day per FL 162.09.
