Full Breakdown
Section 16-91 of the Titusville Code of Ordinances requires that, in households participating in the recycling program, recycling materials be separated from regular household solid waste and rubbish and placed in the separate recycling container the city provides; this took effect for bills rendered on or after October 1, 2001 under Ordinance No. 37-2001. Section 16-93 specifies the container itself: the city furnishes one plastic eighteen-gallon capacity recycling container to each owner, tenant, lessee or occupant of a premises receiving trash can service, rolled out in phases as the city determines, while customers who use dumpsters for garbage instead receive other specialized recycling containers.
89 per container. Recyclable material is collected once a week under the companion preparation rules in Section 16-92, and once placed at curbside for collection it becomes city property under Section 16-94, which separately makes it a violation for anyone other than a city-authorized collector to pick it up, protecting the program's revenue stream from scavengers. These requirements apply to households and premises within Titusville, Brevard County, that are enrolled in the curbside program, not to Brevard County's separate unincorporated-area service.
Violations & Fines
Section 16-91 and Section 16-93 set no standalone fine; the practical consequence of not separating recyclables is that mixed materials may be left uncollected or treated as regular household waste, and the fee consequence of losing more than three bins is a $5.89 replacement charge starting with the fourth bin. An underlying refusal to comply with the recycling program's separation and container rules falls under the Section 1-15 general penalty: up to a $500 fine, up to 60 days in jail, or both, with continuing violations counted daily.
