Full Breakdown
Deltona Code § 110-808(j) requires commercial and multifamily solid waste containers -- dumpsters -- to be enclosed on at least three sides by a six-foot-high masonry wall, with a shrub hedge planted along the enclosure per the approved plant list, except where the container already sits screened from view inside a commercial or industrial shipping area. The enclosure must be fully screened from public streets and adjoining properties, sit on a concrete or asphalt pad level with the collection truck's approach, and cannot be placed in any street right-of-way or required yard area; access must stay clear for collection trucks and their loading mechanisms.
Violations & Fines
Placing a dumpster enclosure in a right-of-way or required yard, skipping the six-foot masonry screen, or blocking collection-truck access violates § 110-808(j) and can draw code enforcement action.
