Summary

In the City of Weston, Florida, household garbage from single-family and curbside residential properties may only go into a City-issued Solid Waste Cart, never loose bags on the ground. The City's contractor collects and hauls it to a legally permitted disposal facility under Code § 110.02.

110.02(A)(1) Household Waste shall only be placed and kept in Garbage bags inside a City provided Solid Waste Cart and placed curbside for collection. Solid Waste Carts shall be collected by the City's Solid Waste contractor ("Contractor") and delivered to a legally permitted disposal facility.

Full Breakdown

Weston Code of Ordinances § 110.02(A) governs garbage from what the Code calls Residential Curbside Service Units. Subsection (A)(1) requires that Household Waste be placed and kept in garbage bags inside a City-provided Solid Waste Cart and set out curbside for collection; the City's Solid Waste contractor, referred to in the Code as the Contractor, collects the carts and delivers the waste to a legally permitted disposal facility. Multi-family residential and commercial properties fall under § 110.02(B) instead: their garbage must be placed and kept in garbage bags inside a roll-off container or dumpster, which must stay clean, sanitary, free of rust and graffiti, must not block building ingress/egress, sidewalks or the right-of-way, and is limited to one container per parcel at a time.

Owners of those properties must arrange service directly with the Contractor and size their container and pickup frequency to prevent chronic overflow that creates unsanitary dumpster-enclosure conditions. Scavenging is separately barred: under § 110.04, all set-out garbage, disaster debris and recyclables remain the property of the unit owner or tenant until the Contractor collects them, and no unauthorized person may remove them once placed for collection.

Violations & Fines

Putting household garbage directly on the ground instead of in a City-issued cart, or letting a commercial dumpster overflow, is a Code Compliance violation subject to the § 2.99 general penalty: up to $1,000 per day for a first offense and up to $5,000 per day for a repeat violation. Unauthorized scavenging from a set-out cart or dumpster is also a violation of § 110.04.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Weston residents put garbage out in loose bags without a cart?
No. Section 110.02(A)(1) requires Household Waste to be placed and kept in garbage bags inside a City-provided Solid Waste Cart before it is set out curbside; the City's contractor then collects the cart and hauls the waste to a permitted disposal facility.
How many dumpsters can a commercial or multi-family property in Weston have?
Section 110.02(B)(4) limits any single parcel to no more than one roll-off container or dumpster at a time, and it must be maintained clean, rust-free, and clear of building entrances, sidewalks and the right-of-way.
Is it legal to take items out of someone else's trash cart in Weston?
No. Under § 110.04, garbage and recyclables set out for collection remain the property of the resident or tenant until the City's contractor collects them, and unauthorized removal is a Code violation.
