Seminole County requires all garbage, recycling, and yard-waste materials to be placed at the usual accessible curbside pickup location by 6 a.m. on collection day. Haulers must return containers without blocking driveways, sidewalks, or mailboxes.
Under Chapter 235, residents place each separated waste stream at the usual accessible pickup location on scheduled days; county guidelines require materials curbside by 6 a.m. Filled containers cannot exceed 50 gallons or 50 pounds. Haulers must leave receptacles at the same point they were collected, without obstructing roadways, driveways, sidewalks, or mailboxes. The code does not fix a specific setback distance for residents; follow the hauler's placement instructions. Cities may set their own bin-placement rules.
Improper containerization or co-mingling is unlawful under Sec. 235.74; violations of Chapter 235 are subject to citation and the Code Enforcement Board's jurisdiction.
