South County Residents Can Dispose Of Big Items For Free April 14-21

SOUTH HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — Illegal dump sites and code violations can affect health, safety and property values throughout a neighborhood. To help prevent this, Hillsborough County’s Rapid Response team is offering curbside pickup in the Little Manatee River area for items that normally would require a trip to the landfill or Community Collection Center.

From Friday, April 14, to Friday, April 21, Hillsborough County residents who live in the area can put furniture, junk and debris, metal, electronics and up to five non-commercial tires at their curbside, and the Rapid Response team will haul away the materials. Items must be placed at the curb by 5 a.m. on the days of collection. Placement the night before is recommended.

The Fight the Blight operation will be held in two areas. Disposal is open to residents who live within the following boundaries:

Area 1:
Chaney Drive/Lloyd Drive to the north
Universal Drive to the south and west
U.S. 41 to the east

Area 2:
Stephens Road/Riverbend Drive to the north
Vista Park Drive to the south
Stephens Road to the east
Francis Circle to the west

This cleanup opportunity is funded through annual solid waste assessments paid by community property owners. Hillsborough County Code Enforcement encourages residents to take advantage of the disposal and restore their property to avoid code violations.

Yard waste, commercial vehicle tires, and hazardous chemicals will not be accepted.
