Drop off donations and refuse at the same time and place in first-of-its-kind program
Program details
The Donation & Waste Diversion Program began as a pilot in September 2022 when Hillsborough County Solid Waste Management partnered with Goodwill Industries-Suncoast, Inc. to rescue reusable items from ending up in landfills.
This program allows Hillsborough County residential solid waste customers to donate items and toss trash in one stop, saving time while making a positive social and environmental impact.
Don't ditch it; donate it
We encourage you to donate items instead of throwing them out. It prevents waste in landfills, helps those in need, and you may get a tax deduction with a donation receipt.
