HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. – 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, in April Hillsborough County’s Rapid Response team will offer curbside pickup in the Gardner and Meadowview area for items that normally would require a trip to the landfill or Community Collection Center.
From Monday, May 6, to Friday, May 10, Hillsborough County residents who live in the area can put furniture, junk and 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.
The Gardner and Meadowview cleanup is open to residents who live within the following boundaries:
North: North Meadowview Circle
South: Gardner Road
East: Veterans Expressway
West: Sheldon Road
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.
