Summary

Full Breakdown

Volusia County Code of Ordinances Chapter 110 (Solid Waste) and municipal codes require trash and recycling containers placed at curbside or alley edge by 6 AM on collection day with lids fully closed. Bins should face the street with at least 3 feet of clearance from mailboxes, utility poles, parked vehicles, and fire hydrants. Containers must be retrieved within 24 hours after pickup. Between collections, bins must be stored out of public right-of-way view — typically behind a fence, in a garage, or on the side yard. Coastal properties in Daytona Beach Shores, Ponce Inlet, and NSB face additional wind-securement expectations during tropical weather watches. HOAs in LPGA International, Venetian Bay, Hunter's Ridge, and Plantation Bay enforce tighter screening and retrieval rules.

Violations & Fines

Bins left out past deadline: warning first, then $25 to $100 per occurrence. Visible storage violation: HOA fines $25-$250. Unsecured bins during wind events: liability for damage.
