Full Breakdown

Kissimmee City Code § 32-67(5) sets placement standards for bulky waste such as furniture, appliances and large tree trimmings put out for special collection. Piles must sit at least four feet from city containers, mailboxes and other obstacles, and can't go under trees, near power poles or signs, or be blocked by parked vehicles. Waste must be separated by type, yard debris apart from household items or appliances, and freezers, refrigerators and similar airtight units need their doors removed before pickup.

Violations & Fines

Blocking the collection truck's access with a misplaced bulky-waste pile can delay pickup and, if reported through code enforcement, lead to a notice to correct under the city's junk-and-trash rules.
