Polk County convenience centers and dump hours

Central Florida, on Eastern time

Convenience centers are what most people call the dump. This page covers the Northeast Landfill Customer Convenience Center, the North Central Transfer Station, and the Household Hazardous Waste Facility. Each one’s hours are posted below, with the rules that apply.

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

Before you go

No waste from outside Polk County is accepted without the county commission’s written approval.
County curbside customers can set out up to five extra bags of household waste four times a year, and furniture and appliances go out on a scheduled day once a month. Construction debris, tires, car parts, and hazardous waste are never picked up at the curb.

Convenience centers

The Northeast center is a pilot for Polk County residents with proof of residency, at a flat rate: $10 for a car, SUV, or pickup; $18 with a trailer under 6 feet; $27 with a 6- to 16-foot trailer; $5 a tire. No cash (cards and tap to pay), no commercial use or dump trailers, and no household chemicals, electronics, batteries, motor oil, refrigerators or freezers, oversized tires, or gas cylinders.
