Seminole residents must store trash containers out of public view between collection days, place them within three feet of the curb on pickup day, and keep them clear of mailboxes and obstacles.
Under Seminole's solid waste regulations, residents must store garbage and recycling carts beside or behind the home, screened from street view, between collection days. On pickup day, carts must be placed at the curb with handles facing the home and a minimum three-foot clearance from mailboxes, vehicles, fire hydrants, and other carts to allow automated truck arms to operate. Carts cannot block sidewalks, bike lanes, or stormwater inlets. Improperly positioned carts may be skipped. Damaged carts should be reported to the hauler for replacement. Multifamily complexes use shared dumpster enclosures with screening requirements.
Persistent improper placement, leaving carts at the curb after pickup, or visible storage between days may result in warning letters and code enforcement fines.
