Full Breakdown

Section 78-42(a) requires residential customers, other than large multifamily buildings, to place mobile containers curbside for collection unless the city authorizes an alternate location; backdoor collection is available for customers with disabilities or on request, though a non-disability backdoor request can carry a special service charge. Multifamily buildings of ten or more units and commercial customers place containers for back door collection under § 78-42(b) unless the city approves another location based on site constraints, traffic impact, or container type. When containers are not out for pickup, § 78-42(c) prohibits storing them in a front or side yard abutting a public right-of-way, between the building line and the right-of-way, or on the right-of-way itself, unless the city has authorized it in writing.

on collection day, positioned at curbside next to a driveway no more than five feet from the curb line or ten feet from the edge of pavement or a traveled way. If a container is placed in violation, § 78-42(e) lets the city remove and relocate it to a suitable spot on the property and assess a service fee for each container moved, collected the same way as other service fees under §§ 78-39 and 78-40, on top of any other penalty.

Violations & Fines

Containers left out early, kept past 10:00 p.m., or stored in a front or side yard facing the street can be relocated by the city under § 78-42(e), which adds a per-container service fee collected as a lien-eligible charge under §§ 78-39 and 78-40, in addition to the general Chapter 78 penalty under § 78-44.

Frequently Asked Questions

How early can I put my trash cart out in Daytona Beach?
Not before 6:00 p.m. the day before your scheduled collection. Section 78-42(d) sets that as the earliest curbside placement time and requires the empty container to be back in storage by 10:00 p.m. on collection day itself.
Where can I store my garbage cart between pickups?
Not in a front or side yard that faces the street. Section 78-42(c) bars storing mobile containers in any yard abutting a public right-of-way, between the building line and the right-of-way, or on the right-of-way, unless the city has approved a different spot in writing.
What happens if I leave my cart out too long?
The city can pick it up and move it. Section 78-42(e) authorizes the city to relocate a container left in violation of the placement rules to a suitable spot on the property and to charge a per-container service fee, billed and collected the same way as other solid waste fees.
