Hillsborough County, Fla. (March 6, 2026) - 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 River Cove and Gibsonton North areas of Gibsonton for items that normally would require a trip to the landfill or Community Collection Center.
From Monday, March 9, to Friday, March 13, 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.
Disposal is open to residents who live within the following boundaries:
River Cove
North: Riverview Drive
South: River Cove Drive
East: Treasure Bayou
West: Cobb Road
Gibsonton North
North: Alafia River
South: Gibsonton Drive
East: Alafia Street
West: U.S. 41
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 general information, call Code Enforcement at (813) 274-6600.
