County Announces Temporary Changes To Yard Waste Drop-Off Sites
Residents are asked to use weekly curbside collections instead of the county disposal facilities.
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — In support of Hillsborough County's Safer-at-Home Order, the County has suspended yard waste drop-offs by residential customers at the Falkenburg Road, Northwest County and South County yard waste disposal sites until further safety procedures are put in place to protect residents and employees.
Residents are not allowed to dispose of yard waste at any County facility at this time. The county is working on safety precautions to be in place shortly. In the meantime, residents are encouraged to use their weekly residential curbside yard waste collection.
