Debris cleanup options for residents affected by Hurricane Milton
A. Storm Debris Cleanup
Hillsborough County will be collecting storm debris from County neighborhoods impacted by Hurricane Milton. Residents in the County's collection areas impacted by flooding and wind should place debris curbside without blocking the roadway or storm drains. To ensure smooth collection, materials should be separated into three categories: yard waste, damaged household appliances, and construction and demolition debris to include furniture, drywall, carpet and fencing.
Bagged waste and household hazardous waste, such as paint or car batteries, will not be accepted as part of this storm-related pickup.
Residents must present a photo ID showing the residential address of the property owner and a printed or digital copy of their current property tax bill. Commercial businesses will resume paying normal fees to utilize Solid Waste facilities.
