Hillsborough County’s Rapid Response team offers special curbside pickup in select locations
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 offers special curbside pickups through its Fight the Blight program on select dates throughout the year.
County residents who live in the specified 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.
Upcoming Fight the Blight
Date: Monday, April 28 – Friday, May 2
Location: Progress Village
Disposal is open to residents who live within the following boundaries:
- North: 85th Drive / Ironwood Avenue

Fight the Blight cleanup opportunities are 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.
