Full Breakdown
12(A)(6)(a). Residential customers may also bring small amounts of construction and demolition debris, vegetative material, and other bulk items to the residential drop-off station on Saturdays. 11(B) covers commercial accounts: those using roll carts get two collections a week on a regular schedule, while dumpster accounts may be collected up to seven days a week with a minimum of two, and any commercial account without garbage in its waste stream still needs at least one collection weekly. 11(C) applies the same two-collections-per-week floor to multiple dwelling and mobile home trailer accounts, whether on roll carts or dumpsters, with recyclables picked up once weekly.
12 opens by making the franchise collector exclusive: all solid waste generated within Pompano Beach's boundaries must be collected by the franchise collector and disposed of per the city's disposal agreement, and materials can only be set out from the property where they were generated.
Violations & Fines
Failing to use the franchise collector, mixing waste streams improperly, or not maintaining the minimum service levels set in § 96.11 exposes the account to referral under § 96.12(A)(8) to the Public Works Director and Code Compliance. Unresolved violations of Chapter 96 default to the general penalty in § 10.99: a fine up to $500, imprisonment up to 60 days, or both, with continuing violations charged per day.
