Hillsborough County, Fla. (May 16, 2025) - 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, next week Hillsborough County's Rapid Response team will offer curbside pickup in the Del Rio and Dover areas.
From Monday, May 19, to Friday, May 23, Hillsborough County residents who live in the Del Rio and Dover areas 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 by 5 a.m. on the days of collection; placement the night before is recommended.
The cleanup is open to residents who live within the following boundaries:
Del Rio
- North: Porpoise Drive
- South: Sligh Avenue
- East: North 50th Street
- West: Trout Street
Dover (Sunny Hill)
- North: Blackjack Road
- South: East Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard
- East: Bethlehem Road
- West: Lindsey Street
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.
