Residents urged to place items curbside the night before
How a community looks can impact how residents feel. 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 will offer curbside pickup in the Progress Village area for items that normally would require a trip to the landfill or Community Collection Center.
From Monday, April 28, to Friday, May 2, Hillsborough County residents who live in the area can put furniture, junk, 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 by 5 a.m. on the days of collection; placement the night before is recommended.
Boundaries
Disposal is open to residents who live within the following boundaries:
North: 85th Drive / Ironwood Avenue
East: South 86th Street
South: Progress Village Middle School
West: South 78th Street
About Fight the Blight
The 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. For information, call Code Enforcement at (813) 274-6600.
