Broward County municipalities require trash and recycling bins to be stored out of public view between collections and placed curbside only during designated pickup windows.
Broward County property maintenance codes and municipal ordinances require residential trash and recycling containers to be stored in a side yard, rear yard, garage, or behind an approved screening enclosure between collections, not visible from the public right-of-way. Bins may be placed curbside no earlier than 6:00 PM the evening before pickup and must be retrieved no later than 8:00 AM the day after collection. Containers should sit upright on hard surface, 12 feet from the curb edge, with 3 feet clearance from mailboxes, fire hydrants, vehicles, and other obstructions. Commercial dumpsters require screening enclosures with gates. Code violations typically carry warning notices followed by fines of $50-250 per occurrence.
