Summary
Titusville picks up bulky furniture, appliances, tree stumps and large limbs at curbside through its special pickup service, but caps the city's free yard-waste vehicle capacity at about 20 cubic yards. Anything beyond that, or from undeveloped property, costs at least $10 and is billed at the city's labor and equipment rate.
Bulky items such as furniture, household appliances, tree stumps and large tree limbs, excluding Christmas trees, (not exceeding twenty-four (24) inches in diameter or four (4) feet in length), and similar heavy material will be picked up at curbside. The disposal of amounts exceeding the capacity of the city's yard waste collection vehicles (approximately twenty (20) cubic yards loose) will be the responsibility of the owner. ... There will be a minimum charge of ten dollars ($10.00) per collection. Amounts in excess of twenty (20) cubic yards shall be subject to charges as provided in article III.

Full Breakdown
Section 16-63 of the Titusville Code of Ordinances, 'Special pickup,' governs bulky yard waste and large debris that residential rubbish containers can't hold. Bulky items such as furniture, household appliances, tree stumps and large tree limbs, excluding Christmas trees, are picked up at curbside, with the same size cap used elsewhere in the chapter of no more than twenty-four inches in diameter or four feet in length for limbs. The city's yard waste collection vehicles hold approximately twenty cubic yards loose, and anything a resident sets out beyond that capacity becomes the owner's responsibility to dispose of; if the owner instead wants the city to haul the excess, the fee is based on the city's current burdened labor rate plus reasonable hourly equipment charges rather than a flat rate.
The city manager can suspend these special-pickup fees after a hurricane or similar natural disaster. 00 per collection, with amounts over twenty cubic yards billed under Article III's rate schedule. Unpaid special-pickup fees on an undeveloped property become a lien against that property. This applies to residential land within Titusville, Brevard County, not to Brevard County's unincorporated yard-waste program.
Violations & Fines
There is no criminal penalty attached specifically to Section 16-63; the consequence for exceeding the free 20-cubic-yard capacity or for requesting collection from an undeveloped lot is a billed fee, the current burdened labor rate plus equipment charges for excess yard waste, or a $10.00 minimum charge for undeveloped-property pickup. Unpaid fees on an undeveloped property become a lien against the land. Any other violation of the chapter's disposal rules defaults to the Section 1-15 general penalty of up to $500, up to 60 days in jail, or both.
