Brevard County requires carts at curb with lids closed, 3 feet from obstructions, retrieved within 24 hours of pickup. Between pickups, carts must be stored behind the front building line.
Brevard County Code Ch. 102 (Solid Waste) requires carts placed at the curbside or swale edge on collection day with lids fully closed. Carts face the street with handles toward the house, spaced at least 3 feet from cars, mailboxes, utility poles, and other carts. Carts must be retrieved within 24 hours after collection. Between pickups, carts must be stored behind the front building line (side/rear yard) and out of public view from the right-of-way. Code compliance officers patrol beachside and Viera neighborhoods for stored-in-view violations. HOA rules in Suntree and Heritage Isles frequently stricter.
Carts left out past deadline: warning then $25-$100 per occurrence. Improperly placed (blocking traffic, hydrants): may be skipped. Repeated violations: escalating fines.
