Not a Tampa HVAC page. Not a dumpster-rental page. Not a franchise. City of Tampa Solid Waste already has bulky-item and storm-debris programs — they are cited so you pick the right tool, not so this form pretends to be the city. No prices, no same-day promise. A person reviews the request.
Three tools. Only one is this page.
City of Tampa Solid Waste Enhanced Environmental Program (S.W.E.E.P.) gives residential customers with an active account — single-family and buildings of four units or fewer — one prescheduled bulky collection per year at no extra charge. Furniture, appliances, mattresses, grills, and similar items are on that list. Building materials, electronics, and household hazardous waste are not. If that annual date has passed, the city publishes a special-pickup path through the Utilities Call Center at (813) 274-8811. Those are the city’s programs and the city’s fees, not ours.
New Tampa is not on City of Tampa SWEEP. Hillsborough County Solid Waste runs bulky pickup there. The county’s own page is the source; their phone is (813) 272-5680. Do not send a New Tampa address to a Tampa city crew and expect it to work.
A roll-off dumpster is a parked box for construction debris you can walk into yourself. That is a different SKU. This form will not pretend to drop a 20-yard in South Tampa or on a Davis Islands driveway.
Haul-away is labor: someone comes to the door, carries items out of a bungalow, a second-floor Seminole Heights apartment, or a garage, and the pile leaves with them. No box sits on the street for a week. That is the only job this request is about.
Hurricane debris is a city calendar, not a franchise
The National Weather Service Tampa Bay office states the Atlantic hurricane season: June 1 through November 30. After a named storm, City of Tampa Solid Waste has run separate storm-debris collection — curbside piles, a debris map, and free drop-off at McKay Bay for city utility customers when the city says so. Those programs start and end on city dates. They are not this page, and they are not a junk franchise claiming the city’s trucks.
Seasonal yard debris (a fallen laurel oak limb in August, a pile of fronds after a squall) is often still a city yard-waste or special-services question first. If the pile is inside, mixed household, or more than the city will take, haul-away is the better question. If it is construction debris from a reroof, it is a dumpster question — a different page.
What does not go on a junk pile
City of Tampa special-services and SWEEP pages exclude household hazardous waste, electronics (except as the county allows), pressurized cylinders, and building materials. Hillsborough County Household Hazardous Waste sites take paint, solvents, fuels, and similar household chemicals. Refrigerators still have refrigerant; who recovers it is a question for the hauler or the city’s appliance rule, not a claim this page will invent.
What this page will not claim
We do not operate 1-800-GOT-JUNK or any other junk franchise. We do not publish a truck count, a “same-day” window, or a per-load price. Quotes you get later are that company’s quotes. Anyone who knocks, wants cash on the driveway, and will not say where the load is going is a reason to slow down.
What to put in the request
ZIP and whether you are inside City of Tampa, New Tampa / Hillsborough, or Pinellas (St. Petersburg is a different city). Whether the pile is inside or already at the curb. Whether this year’s SWEEP date already passed. Whether anything looks like paint, batteries, or a charged appliance. That is enough for a person to follow up. It is not a booking and not a dispatch.
