Summary
In the City of Weston, Florida, garbage is collected at least twice a week and recycling at least once a week, on a day that lines up with the garbage pickup for that address. Both services run through the City's contracted hauler under Code § 110.02 and § 110.03.
110.02(A)(3) Garbage shall be collected at a minimum of twice per week. ... 110.0 ... 3(A)(2) Recyclable Material shall be collected a minimum of one day per week and on a day that coincides with a Solid Waste Residential Curbside Service Unit's collection day. No other receptacles shall be utilized for the placement of Recyclable Material unless approved by the City Manager.
Full Breakdown
Weston Code of Ordinances § 110.02(A)(3) sets a floor for residential garbage service: Garbage shall be collected at a minimum of twice per week. The companion recycling rule, § 110.03(A)(2), requires that Recyclable Material be collected a minimum of one day per week and on a day that coincides with a Solid Waste Residential Curbside Service Unit's collection day, meaning recycling pickup is synchronized with one of the two weekly garbage days rather than run on an independent schedule. No other receptacles may be used for recyclables unless the City Manager approves them.
On the commercial and multi-family side, § 110.02(B)(5) requires roll-off containers and dumpsters to be collected at a minimum of twice per week as well, unless the City Manager agrees to a different schedule, and § 110.03(B)(2) sets multi-family on-site recycling collection at a minimum of once a week. Both the Solid Waste and Recycling programs are run by the City's Contractor, who delivers the material to a legally permitted disposal or recycling facility.
Violations & Fines
A hauler or property that misses the twice-weekly garbage minimum or the once-weekly recycling minimum is out of compliance with Chapter 110, enforceable through the § 2.99 general penalty of up to $1,000 per day for a first violation and up to $5,000 per day for a repeat violation, with each day a separate offense.
