Seminole residents must store solid waste in approved containers and only place them at curbside on collection days, under Chapter 34 of the city code, with bins required to be returned to a screened storage location after pickup.
Chapter 34 of the City of Seminole Code of Ordinances governs solid waste collection and container storage. The city contracts with Waste Pro for residential collection, providing 95-gallon roll carts for garbage and recycling. Containers must be placed at curbside no earlier than the evening before the scheduled collection day and removed from the right-of-way by the end of the collection day. Between collections, carts must be stored out of public view, typically behind a fence, gate, or screening on the side or rear of the home. Damaged or excessively soiled containers must be cleaned or replaced. Illegal dumping or non-customer use is prohibited.
Bins left at curb beyond collection day, visible from the right-of-way, or used for illegal dumping can result in code enforcement notices, fines, and lien actions under Florida Statute 162.
