Yard waste should be put at the curb or the edge of the street but not in the roadway. Large piles of debris should be placed away from trees, hydrants, telephone, trees or other structures so the clamshell truck has room to pick up the debris.Yard Waste

Yard Waste
It is a violation of the city code to leave your grass clippings in the street, curb or gutter. It is also a violation of the city code to blow them into the storm drain. Grass clippings are one of the primary causes of pollution on the Banana River Lagoon. They settle on the bottom of the canals and rivers, decompose into muck that chokes off sunlight reaching underwater vegetation which cannot survive without the sunlight. Fish and marine mammals need the vegetation to survive.
Violators are subject to fines by the City Code Enforcement Officers. For more information on City Code Enforcement, please visit the City Code Enforcement Webpage.

The city pays disposal fees at the county landfill for yard debris. Contractors who work in the city are required to dispose of the debris upon completion of the work by taking the debris with them. To protect yourself from potential legal claims or liabilities, make sure your contractor has the proper permits and insurance coverage. A properly licensed contractor will know and comply with city codes.Yard Waste

Usually this occurs because the debris was piled too close to a tree, pole, hydrant or other structure and the clam shell truck truck was unable to get to the pile with the bucket. When putting large piles of debris out for pick up, make sure it is placed in a clear area with no obstructions.Yard Waste
