Daytona Beach, FL Trash & Recycling: Dumpster Rules (2026)

Section 78-43(a) has the property owner or occupant and the service provider agree on a container location that allows collection without interfering with adjoining property or public right-of-way use; if they cannot agree, the city designates a reasonable location. Under § 78-43(b), every permanently located mechanical, compaction, or roll-off container must be screened from the public right-of-way on at least three sides using wood, cyclone fence with slats, brick, stone, concrete, or shrubbery, with the unscreened side facing away from any paved right-of-way, screening covering the container's full height, length, and width, and the screening kept in good repair.

Service gates must open at least ten feet wide per mechanical container, and any gate facing the right-of-way must stay closed and latched; the city can close an unlatched gate itself and bill a service fee under §§ 78-39 and 78-40. Section 78-43(c) applies to containers with a combined capacity over one cubic yard at any building built after January 1, 1972: the container sits 20 feet back from the front lot line and 10 feet from any side lot line abutting a street, on a pad strong enough and level with the service approach, with a service opening at least ten feet wide and a minimum pad depth of eight feet for two- and three-cubic-yard dumpsters or ten feet for four-, six-, and eight-cubic-yard dumpsters, positioned so the collection truck never has to back up more than 50 feet.
