Summary
In unincorporated Brevard County the code fixes set-out timing, not the calendar. Carts go within five feet of the curbline, out by 6:00 a.m. on your collection day and no earlier than noon the day before, and back in by noon the day after.
In accordance with applicable local government ordinances, newly developed property receiving a certificate of occupancy, or its equivalent, on or after July 1, 2012, that is used for multifamily residential or commercial purposes, must provide adequate space and an adequate receptacle for recycling by tenants and owners of the property. This provision is limited to counties and municipalities that have an established residential, including multifamily, or commercial recycling program that provides recycling receptacles to residences and businesses and regular pickup services for those receptacles.
Full Breakdown
Chapter 94 makes collection mandatory inside the solid waste municipal service benefit unit and puts the practical rules on the customer. Section 94-1 defines the collection point for a single-family or individual multiple-family residence as a point within five feet of the curbline or paving line of the nearest public street. Section 94-47(c)(3) requires carts to be at that point on or before 6:00 a.m. on the collection day, never before noon the day prior, and removed by noon the day after. Household waste goes in automated carts sized to hold a four-day accumulation. Yard waste is set out separately and never mixed with other solid waste.
Violations & Fines
A citation under section 94-4 carries up to a $500.00 fine per violation plus court fees and costs, and under section 94-3 each day a continuing violation lasts is a separate offense.
