Couch & furniture removal in Plant City

City collection Old furniture is named on the city's bulky pickup list, so a couch or table goes out through the one free bulky load a single-family account gets each twelve months, with the division quoting anything beyond that allowance. Furniture is part of the one free bulky load a single-family account receives within twelve months, and the city publishes no per-item furniture charge. Because a load beyond that free allowance may carry a special charge quoted after a cost estimate, the division confirms the cost on 813-659-4222 when the pickup is arranged.

Mattress & bed removal in Plant City

City collection Plant City does not name mattresses on its bulky pickup list or anywhere else in its retained pages, even though old furniture and appliances are named, so a mattress is confirmed with the Solid Waste Division before it is set out rather than assumed to be part of the free load. No mattress charge and no mattress rule are published by the city. If the mattress counts as part of the one free bulky load in a twelve-month period there is no separate charge, and if the division treats it as material beyond the allowance a special charge is quoted after a free cost estimate, so the amount is confirmed on 813-659-4222.

The local disposal guide

Will the city
take it?

Plant City collects for itself: the Solid Waste Division serves more than 14,000 households with eight trucks a day, five days a week, the account opens when water service starts, and the cart charge rides the monthly utility bill. Garbage goes in the cart with the lid down and nothing loose beside it, while recycling, yard debris, construction material and bulk items stay separate. Yard debris has its own Wednesday route, with leaves and clippings in bags or containers up to forty pounds and branches no thicker than five inches or longer than five feet; anything larger needs a grabber truck, which the city allows as one free load per residence in a twelve-month period. Large household items work the same way: a single-family account gets one free load of bulky items or bulk yard waste in twelve months, covering old furniture, appliances and minor do it yourself material but excluding anything unsafe or heavy such as mirror glass, HVAC ducts, solar panels, roofing shingles, concrete, pavers, rock, brick, stone, boulders, cement and masonry. Household chemicals never go in a cart at all, because Hillsborough County runs them through Saturday collections at three sites, and the county routes household electronics to its Community Collection Centers instead.

Household garbage and carts

Accepted with preparation

The city collects household garbage from more than 14,000 residences with its own trucks, five days a week, at a monthly rate set by cart size. The account opens with water service, the garbage charge appears on the monthly utility bill, and only household trash goes in the cart.

City cost & eligibility
From $25.13 per month for the smallest published residential cart, with the medium cart and the largest cart priced higher on the same schedule. Charged to a residential account and billed monthly with water and sewer on the utility bill. The account is opened automatically when water service is turned on, and the city publishes three cart sizes at three monthly rates.
When & how
Garbage is collected by the city on a weekday route, with carts at the curb by 6 a.m. on collection day. Yard debris runs separately on Wednesdays, and the city publishes a holiday collection schedule for weeks that shift.
Get it ready
Keep the garbage inside the cart with the lid down and put no bags or loose trash on or around it, because only household trash belongs in the cart. Leave three feet between the cart and any other container, vehicle, fence, hydrant or mailbox, keep it clear of power lines and poles, set it at the curb with the arrows on the lid pointing to the street and within six feet of the curb, in the area fronting the property. Recycling, yard debris, construction material and bulk items all stay out of the garbage cart.

Bulky items and the special pickup

Accepted with preparation

A residential single-family account gets one free load of bulky items or bulk yard waste within a twelve-month period. The pickup covers old furniture, appliances, horticultural refuse and material from minor do it yourself projects, and anything beyond the free load is quoted by the Solid Waste Division before it is collected.

City cost & eligibility
One bulky load is free to a single-family account within twelve months, and the city states only that there may be a special charge for the service, quoted after the resident calls for a free cost estimate. Because the amount depends on the load and the free load is limited to one in twelve months, the cost is confirmed with the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222 before the pickup is arranged.
When & how
Call the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222 to request the free cost estimate and arrange the pickup, then have the material at the front of the property on the arranged day. The separate bulk yard waste route runs on Wednesdays for leaves, clippings and limbs.
Get it ready
Keep the load to items the city names, because anything unsafe for staff or equipment is refused: mirrors and sheets of glass, HVAC ducts, solar panels, roofing shingles, concrete, pavers, rocks, bricks, stones, boulders, cement and masonry all stay out. Nothing may present a health or safety hazard to the public, and if the load cannot be collected the department leaves a non-pickup notice explaining why.

Sofas, tables and furniture

Accepted with preparation

Old furniture is named on the city's bulky pickup list, so a couch or table goes out through the one free bulky load a single-family account gets each twelve months, with the division quoting anything beyond that allowance.

City cost & eligibility
Furniture is part of the one free bulky load a single-family account receives within twelve months, and the city publishes no per-item furniture charge. Because a load beyond that free allowance may carry a special charge quoted after a cost estimate, the division confirms the cost on 813-659-4222 when the pickup is arranged.
When & how
Call 813-659-4222 to request the cost estimate and book the pickup, then set the furniture at the front of the property for the arranged day, keeping it separate from the Wednesday yard debris route.
Get it ready
Take the pieces apart as far as they will go and keep them within a load the crew can handle safely. Keep mirror glass, sheets of glass, construction material and anything hazardous out of the pile, because the city refuses those, and remember that business-generated furniture is not collected free.

Mattresses and box springs

Special rules apply

Plant City does not name mattresses on its bulky pickup list or anywhere else in its retained pages, even though old furniture and appliances are named, so a mattress is confirmed with the Solid Waste Division before it is set out rather than assumed to be part of the free load.

City cost & eligibility
No mattress charge and no mattress rule are published by the city. If the mattress counts as part of the one free bulky load in a twelve-month period there is no separate charge, and if the division treats it as material beyond the allowance a special charge is quoted after a free cost estimate, so the amount is confirmed on 813-659-4222.
When & how
Call 813-659-4222 first, then put the mattress out only for the pickup day the division arranges, keeping it separate from the Wednesday yard debris pile.
Get it ready
Keep the mattress dry and make it easy for the crew to reach, since items that present a health or safety hazard are refused. Do not lean it against the garbage cart or block the collection point, and keep it clear of glass, construction material and anything hazardous that the city refuses.

Large appliances

Accepted with preparation

Appliances are named on the city's special pickup list alongside old furniture and horticultural refuse, so they go out through the same one free bulky load a single-family account gets in twelve months, with no separate per-appliance fee published.

City cost & eligibility
Appliances are covered by the one free bulky load a single-family account receives within twelve months, and the city publishes no per-appliance charge. A load beyond the free allowance may carry a special charge quoted after a cost estimate, so the division confirms the cost on 813-659-4222 when the pickup is arranged.
When & how
Arrange the pickup through the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222 and have the appliance at the front of the property on the day the division confirms.
Get it ready
Empty and clean the appliance, take the doors off a refrigerator or freezer so the crew can handle it safely, and keep it off the garbage cart because appliances are collected separately from household trash. Any item the division considers unsafe for staff or equipment is refused, and business appliances are not collected free.

Electronics and televisions

Accepted with preparation

Plant City publishes no electronics route of its own, and Hillsborough County states that household electronics are accepted at its Community Collection Centers while the household hazardous waste collections refuse them. So a television or computer never goes in the garbage cart and follows the county route instead.

City cost & eligibility
The county page names the Community Collection Centers as the route for household electronics without publishing a charge, and the city publishes no electronics service, so the current terms and opening hours are confirmed with Hillsborough County before a device is taken in.
When & how
Use a Hillsborough County Community Collection Center for household electronics rather than a household hazardous waste collection, which refuses them. The county hazardous waste sites operate only on selected Saturdays, so the electronics route is arranged separately.
Get it ready
Wipe personal data before a computer, phone or drive leaves the house, and keep televisions, monitors and computers out of the garbage cart at all times, since the city separates construction material, bulk items, yard debris and recycling from household garbage. Do not take electronics to a hazardous waste collection, because the county lists household electronics as not accepted there.

Construction and demolition debris

Special rules apply

Construction material is kept out of the garbage cart, and the city's bulky pickup refuses the heavy and awkward parts of a project: mirrors and sheets of glass, HVAC ducts, solar panels, roofing shingles, concrete, pavers, rocks, bricks, stones, boulders, cement and masonry. A project load therefore goes to a private hauler.

City cost & eligibility
The city publishes no construction collection and no rate, and it excludes the heavy and unsafe material from the bulky pickup, so the cost is a private hauler's price or a receiving site's tipping terms. The company that generates the waste is responsible for it, so the terms are confirmed with the hauler before the load is booked.
When & how
Arrange a private container or haul before the work starts, because construction material is not collected on the garbage route and the special pickup will not take the excluded items. Household renovation material is also outside the definition of household trash the city collects.
Get it ready
Separate the heavy and unsafe material from anything the city might take, and keep all of it out of the garbage cart, since the city requires construction material to be kept separate. Remember that waste from a construction company is not picked up free, and that material from a renovation is not household trash.

Exercise equipment

Special rules apply

Exercise equipment is not named on the Plant City bulky list, so a treadmill or weight machine is confirmed with the Solid Waste Division before it is set out. The pickup list is written as examples, so the machine may qualify, but only the division can say so.

City cost & eligibility
No exercise equipment rate or rule is published. If the machine counts within the one free bulky load in a twelve-month period there is no separate charge, and if it is material beyond the allowance a special charge is quoted after a free cost estimate, so the division confirms on 813-659-4222.
When & how
Call 813-659-4222 before the pickup is booked, describe the machine, and set it out only for the day the division arranges, separate from the Wednesday yard debris route.
Get it ready
Take the machine down as far as it will go, keep loose weights together with the frame, and make sure the pieces are light enough for the crew, since anything the division considers unsafe for staff or equipment is refused. Keep it out of the garbage cart and remove any console or screen so that part can go to a county electronics collection point instead.

Household hazardous waste

Accepted with preparation

Household chemicals are a county service for Plant City residents: Hillsborough County runs household hazardous waste collections on selected Saturdays at three sites, free to all county household residents including apartment and manufactured home dwellers, and refuses business waste. Paint, automotive fluids, pool chemicals, propane tanks, mercury devices, batteries and lawn chemicals are all on the accepted list.

City cost & eligibility
No charge. Free to all Hillsborough County household residents, whether they live in a single family home, a rental, a condominium, a townhome, an apartment or a manufactured home. Business waste is not accepted and loads are evaluated to decide whether they are commercial.
When & how
Collections run on selected Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.: the first Saturday at the Sheldon Road site, 9805 Sheldon Road in Tampa; the second Saturday at the South County site, 13000 U.S. Highway 41 in Gibsonton; and the third Saturday at the Hillsborough Heights site, 6209 County Road 579 in Seffner.
Get it ready
Follow the published limits: paint products are capped at ten one gallon containers or five five gallon containers a month, gasoline or diesel must be in a container no larger than five gallons, propane and helium tanks and fire extinguishers are limited to five tanks of thirty pounds or less, and fluorescent bulbs are limited to ten bulbs four feet and longer. Tape battery terminals or bag each battery and do not dismantle them, keep alkaline batteries out because those go in the garbage, and take needles, medication and radioactive material elsewhere because the collections refuse all three.

Right item.

Garbage in the cart, lid down, three feet clear

Garbage stays inside the cart with the lid down and nothing loose on or around it, and only household trash goes in. Leave three feet between the cart and any other container, vehicle, fence, hydrant or mailbox, keep it clear of power lines and poles, set it at the curb with the arrows on the lid pointing to the street and within six feet of the curb, in the area fronting the property, and have it out by 6 a.m. on collection day. Recycling, yard debris, construction material and bulk items are all collected separately from the garbage cart.

Solid Waste Division page: the office address, telephone, email and weekday hours, and the automated collection reminders for cart contents, spacing and placement

Yard debris has its own Wednesday route and size limits

Yard waste is collected on Wednesdays for leaves, grass clippings and limbs. Leaves and clippings go in plastic bags or containers no heavier than forty pounds, and branches are no thicker than five inches or longer than five feet and must be tied and bundled. Put it at the front of the property between the curb and the right of way no later than 6 a.m. on the pickup day. Anything heavier or larger needs the grabber truck, arranged on 813-659-4222, and one free load of yard debris per residence is allowed in a twelve-month period. Debris from a lawn or tree company has to be hauled away by that company.

One free bulky load, then a quoted charge

A residential single-family account gets one free load of bulky items or bulk yard waste within twelve months, covering old furniture, appliances, horticultural refuse and material from minor do it yourself projects. Anything unsafe for staff or equipment is refused, including mirror glass and sheets of glass, HVAC ducts, solar panels, roofing shingles, concrete, pavers, rocks, bricks, stones, boulders, cement and masonry, and no pile may present a health or safety hazard. The division gives a free cost estimate on 813-659-4222 and quotes any special charge, which appears on the next monthly utility bill, and leaves a non-pickup notice if the load cannot be collected.

County chemical collections have limits and refusals

Household chemicals go to a Hillsborough County collection on a selected Saturday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Sheldon Road, South County or Hillsborough Heights site.

City of Plant City Solid Waste Division, with Hillsborough County

Use the free bulky load and the cost estimate line

A Plant City single-family household with old furniture, an appliance, horticultural refuse or material from a minor do it yourself project.

Cost & conditions
One bulky load is free to a single-family account within twelve months, and the city states only that there may be a special charge for the service, quoted after the resident asks for a free cost estimate on 813-659-4222. The amount therefore depends on the load and the remaining free allowance, so it is confirmed before the pickup is arranged.
Arrange it
Call the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222 for the free cost estimate and to arrange the pickup, then put the material at the front of the property for the day the division confirms.

Unsafe and heavy items are refused, including mirror glass and sheets of glass, HVAC ducts, solar panels, roofing shingles, concrete, pavers, rocks, bricks, stones, boulders, cement and masonry. A pile may not present a health or safety hazard, business waste is not picked up free, and a load that cannot be collected gets a non-pickup notice instead.

A Plant City household with paint, automotive fluids, pool chemicals, propane tanks, mercury devices, batteries, lawn chemicals, flares or cooking oil.

Cost & conditions
No charge. Free to all Hillsborough County household residents, including residents of apartments, condominiums, townhomes, manufactured homes and rentals. Business waste is not accepted, and loads are evaluated to decide whether they are commercial.

Take household electronics to a county Community Collection Center

A Plant City household with a television, computer, monitor or other household electronic device.

Cost & conditions
The county names Community Collection Centers as the route for household electronics but publishes no charge or hours on the page retained, and Plant City publishes no electronics service, so the current terms are confirmed with Hillsborough County before a device is taken in.
Arrange it
Use a Hillsborough County Community Collection Center rather than a household hazardous waste collection, which refuses household electronics, and wipe personal data before the device leaves the house.

The hazardous waste collections accept only what the county lists as hazardous, and household electronics are explicitly on the not accepted list there, so a television or computer cannot be dropped at a Saturday chemical collection.

With a new purchase

Arrange a private hauler for a project or an excluded load

A Plant City household or contractor with construction material or anything the city refuses, including the heavy and unsafe items on the special pickup exclusion list.

Cost & conditions
No city service covers this material, so the price comes from the private hauler or the receiving site. The city publishes no rate for construction or excluded material, and the company that generates the waste is responsible for removing it, so the terms are confirmed before the load is booked.
Arrange it
Contact a hauler or container company serving Plant City, describe the material and the access at the property, and confirm where the load is taken and what it costs.

Business waste is never picked up free in Plant City, including waste from construction, lawn and tree maintenance companies, and material excluded from the special pickup such as concrete, pavers, rock, brick, stone, boulders, cement, masonry, roofing shingles, solar panels and HVAC ducts will not be collected by the city at all.

Taking it somewhere yourself?

Plant City's own division does most of the work. Garbage is collected in a city cart with the lid down, nothing loose beside it and the cart out by 6 a.m., and the monthly charge appears on the utility bill along with water and sewer at a rate set by cart size. Yard debris runs separately on Wednesdays, with leaves and clippings in bags or containers up to forty pounds and branches no thicker than five inches or longer than five feet tied into bundles, and anything heavier or larger goes on the grabber truck with one free load allowed per residence in twelve months. Large household items work through one free bulky load for a single-family account in the same twelve-month window, covering old furniture, appliances, horticultural refuse and minor do it yourself material, with the Solid Waste Division giving a free cost estimate on 813-659-4222 and quoting any special charge, and with unsafe or heavy material such as mirror glass, HVAC ducts, solar panels, roofing shingles, concrete, pavers, rock, brick, stone, boulders, cement and masonry refused. Household chemicals leave the city system entirely for a Hillsborough County collection on a Saturday between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., free to county households, and household electronics go to a county Community Collection Center because the chemical collections refuse them. Mattresses and exercise equipment are the two items the city does not name, so both are confirmed with the division before they go out.

Before you book

Your questions.
Straight answers.

Prices, timing and the details that matter at your address.

How much does pickup cost?

Choose your items to see the exact price. A standard sofa is $79 first and $29 additional. The highest first-item price applies once; every remaining item uses its additional-item price. Loading, transportation and disposal are included. Review any applicable sales tax and the final total before payment.

Can I book a pickup for today?

Book by 2pm at your pickup address for same-day pickup, where available. Choose from the dates shown at checkout. Your booking is for a pickup day, and we text you when your hauler is on the way.

Do my items need to be outside when I book?

You can book while your items are still inside. Arrange any indoor carrying and have everything outside and accessible according to your confirmation. We load and haul it away from there. Contact us before booking if your property has restricted access.

Will Plant City pick up a couch?

Yes. Old furniture is named on the special pickup list, and a residential single-family account gets one free load of bulky items or bulk yard waste within a twelve-month period. Arrange it through the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222, which gives a free cost estimate and quotes any special charge for a load beyond the free allowance. Keep mirror glass and construction material out of the pile.Official guidance

How do I get rid of a mattress in Plant City?

Confirm with the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222 first, because Plant City names old furniture and appliances on its bulky pickup list but does not name mattresses, so no published rule covers one. A residential single-family account gets one free bulky load in a twelve-month period, and anything beyond that may carry a special charge quoted after a free cost estimate.Official guidance

How do I get rid of an appliance in Plant City?

Appliances are named on the city's special pickup list, so they go out through the one free bulky load a residential single-family account gets within a twelve-month period. Call the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222 for a free cost estimate and to arrange the pickup, and remove the doors from a refrigerator or freezer before it goes out. A load beyond the free allowance may carry a special charge on the next utility bill.Official guidance

Where can I take a television in Plant City?

To a Hillsborough County Community Collection Center, because the county states that household electronics are accepted there while the household hazardous waste collections list electronics as not accepted. Plant City publishes no electronics route of its own, and a television never belongs in the garbage cart. Confirm the current terms with the county before the trip.Official guidance

Who collects trash in Plant City?

The City of Plant City's own Solid Waste Division, which serves more than 14,000 households with eight trucks a day, five days a week, and disposes of more than 14,000 tons of residential refuse a year. The account opens automatically when water service starts, and the garbage charge appears with water and sewer on the monthly utility bill at a rate that depends on the cart size chosen. The division office is at 902 N Mobley St and can be reached on 813-757-9208.Official guidance

How does the Plant City special pickup work?

A residential single-family account gets one free load of bulky items or bulk yard waste in a twelve-month period, covering old furniture, appliances, horticultural refuse and material from minor do it yourself projects. Call the Solid Waste Division on 813-659-4222 for a free cost estimate and to arrange the pickup, put the material at the front of the property for the arranged day, and expect any special charge beyond the free load on the next monthly utility bill. Unsafe or heavy items such as mirror glass, HVAC ducts, solar panels, roofing shingles, concrete, pavers, rock, brick, stone, boulders, cement and masonry are refused.Official guidance

How should Plant City yard debris be set out?

Yard debris is collected on Wednesdays for leaves, grass clippings and limbs. Leaves and clippings go in plastic bags or containers no heavier than forty pounds, branches are no thicker than five inches or longer than five feet and must be tied and bundled, and everything goes at the front of the property between the curb and the right of way by 6 a.m. on the pickup day. Anything heavier or larger needs the grabber truck arranged on 813-659-4222, and one free load of yard debris per residence is allowed in a twelve-month period.
