Full Breakdown
Town of Davie Code § 6-38 makes the adjacent property owner responsible for keeping the public or private swale and right-of-way free of trash and debris, with one built-in exception: material may sit there during town-approved community bulk-trash pickup days. Set bulk items out any other time and the town treats it as a right-of-way maintenance violation. Davie's code-enforcement fine schedule separately lists 'Unscheduled Bulk Waste Accumulation' tied to § 9-2(a)/(b) at $250.00 for a first offense and $500.00 for repeat offenses. Check with the Town's Public Works Department for the current bulk pickup calendar before setting items curbside.
Violations & Fines
Leaving bulk trash, brush, or debris in the swale or right-of-way outside scheduled pickup days risks a code-enforcement citation and a $250 fine, $500 for repeat violations, under §§ 6-38 and 9-2.
