(Solid Waste Enhanced Environmental Program) with free 10-cubic-yard bulk pickup by zone, plus a free transfer station at 112 S. 34th St. But S.W.E.E.P. follows a fixed zone schedule you can't control, and New Tampa residents fall under Hillsborough County instead.

What happens to your couch after pickup
Couches in good condition — no rips, stains, or structural damage — are donated to local charities like Habitat for Humanity ReStore, Goodwill, or Salvation Army. Couches that can't be donated are taken to licensed disposal facilities. Wood frames are sometimes separated for recycling, and metal components (springs, frames) are sent to scrap processors. Fabric and foam that can't be recycled are disposed of responsibly at permitted solid waste facilities.
Why Tampa residents choose Dropcurb for couch removal
S.W.E.E.P. follows a fixed zone schedule you can't choose, and the free transfer station at 112 S. 34th St requires driving, loading, and unloading yourself. At $79, Dropcurb picks up same-day from your curb — no zone schedules, no self-hauling, no $150+ GOT-JUNK minimums.
