Containers must be no more than 2 feet from the road edge, 3 feet from any fixed object, 1 foot apart from each other, with openings facing the street and handles facing the house. Lids must close completely.
Lynn Haven's automated trucks need precise placement for the mechanical arm. Per Public Works guidance based on Chapter 54 of the Code: cans must be (1) no more than 2 feet from the road edge, (2) at least 3 feet from any fixed object (mailbox, utility pole, parked vehicle, light pole), (3) 1 foot apart from each other if you have more than one, and (4) facing the street with openings forward and handles facing your house. Lids must close completely with no exposed waste. Containers placed too close to a fixed object are bypassed and the homeowner gets a Code Enforcement courtesy notice. Containers in a right-of-way obstructing traffic can be cited under Sec. 1-7.
Bypassed pickup for placement violations; repeated violations can result in a Sec. 1-7 citation up to $500.
