Full Breakdown
Section 16-59 of the Titusville Code of Ordinances, titled 'Same, Placement for pickup,' sets the curb-timing rules for residential and commercial waste collection. so they are in place before the collection crew arrives. A resident whose household has no one able to carry waste to the curb can file a physician's statement with the director of public works, after which the container may instead be placed at the side yard outside any fence for pickup. If waste is not staged at the proper location before the crew arrives, the city is relieved of the obligation to collect it that day.
on the day of collection itself, so a cart cannot legally sit curbside for days at a stretch. These placement-timing rules are distinct from the container specification and access requirements in Sections 16-48 and 16-54, and apply throughout Titusville, Brevard County, not in the unincorporated county.
Violations & Fines
Waste that is not containerized and staged curbside by 6:30 a.m. on collection day may simply be skipped, leaving the resident to wait for the next scheduled pickup or pay for an extra collection at the Section 16-117 through 16-120 rate. Leaving containers out earlier than 5:00 p.m. the day before, or later than 8:00 p.m. the day of collection, is itself a violation of Section 16-59 and, absent a specific fine, defaults to the Section 1-15 general penalty of up to $500, up to 60 days in jail, or both, with each day of a continuing violation treated separately.
