Showing ordinances that apply to DeLand Southwest, FL
DeLand Southwest is an unincorporated community (population 1,056) in Volusia County, Florida. Because DeLand Southwest is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Volusia County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The recycling requirements rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Volusia County offers curbside recycling for paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, and plastics #1-#2. Contamination with plastic bags or food waste causes bin rejection. FL DEP 75% recycling goal under §403.7032.
Volusia County and its municipalities provide single-stream curbside recycling collecting paper, cardboard, glass (clear/brown/green), aluminum and steel cans, and plastic bottles/jugs marked #1 (PET) and #2 (HDPE). Many programs no longer accept #3-#7 plastics due to downstream market changes. Contamination — plastic bags, Styrofoam, food-soiled containers, yard waste, diapers, tanglers (hoses, wire) — causes bin tagging and skip. Florida Statutes §403.7032 sets a statewide 75% recycling goal though counties face challenges meeting it. Multi-family properties above specific unit counts may have commercial recycling requirements under local code. Yard waste runs as a separate weekly route. Coastal tourist areas (Daytona Beach boardwalk, NSB Flagler Ave) contend with visitor contamination in public recycling.
Contaminated bins: tagged and skipped. Repeat contamination: $25 to $100 fine. Commercial non-compliance: up to $500 per occurrence.
