Pinellas County dump hours

Tampa Bay, on Eastern time

This page covers the Solid Waste Disposal Complex, five recycling centers, and the Household Hazardous Waste Center. Some are run by the City of St. Petersburg Sanitation, not the county. Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.

What to do with tires, mattresses, paint, and more

Landfills

  • Cars pay a flat $4.25 a load, and pickups and vans $11.75. Anything bigger, or towing a trailer, pays $63.57 a ton, with a deposit of 35% of the loaded weight held on your card until you weigh out. Waste from outside the county pays a $63.57-a-ton surcharge on top. Pay by card or tap to pay.
  • The county requires personal protective equipment at the complex and sells kits (safety helmet, eye protection, and high-visibility vest) for $22.50.
  • The complex turns away vehicles and campers, hazardous waste, gasoline and fuel oil, liquids, explosives, and medical or radioactive waste. Residents take household chemicals and fuel to the HHW Center.

Recycling centers

  • St. Petersburg’s brush sites are only for properties that pay the city’s sanitation charge: show a Florida driver’s license with a city address, or your license and the city water account number. Loads from lawn services or contractors need the property owner along or a signed brush site consent form each day.
