Town Code section 9-25 requires carts to be stored in side or rear areas, set out no more than 12 hours before collection and brought back within 8 hours after. Town guidance says place carts within two feet of the street and three feet from trees, cars or mailboxes, out no earlier than 7 p.m. the night before.
Davie regulates exactly when and where carts may sit. Town Code section 9-25 ('Receptacle requirements') keeps receptacles off Town or public property and in side or rear areas, except 'within twelve (12) hours prior to the regular collection,' after which they must be relocated to the side or rear 'within eight (8) hours after collection.' Where the Town authorizes curbside placement, containers may go 'between the curbline and abutting property line,' but the same 12-hour-before / 8-hour-after window applies, and 'at no time shall any receptacle, or trash be placed in streets, gutters or on sidewalks.' Section 9-26 requires receptacles large enough to hold a four-day accumulation of garbage. The Town's operational guidance from Coastal Waste & Recycling refines this for residents: place carts within two feet of the street and at least three feet from trees, cars, mailboxes or poles before 7 a.m. on the scheduled day, set them out no earlier than 7 p.m. the previous evening, keep the lid closed so nothing spills, and place nothing on top of the cart. Bulk items follow separate placement rules. These set-out timing rules and the side/rear storage requirement are the most commonly cited container provisions in code-enforcement practice.
Carts left at the curb beyond the 8-hour post-collection window, stored in public view contrary to section 9-25, or blocking the sidewalk are Code Compliance matters (954-693-8237). Carts placed too close to obstacles may be skipped by the automated truck. Service issues are handled by Coastal Waste & Recycling (954-580-1292).
