Tampa dumpster rental FAQ

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in Tampa, FL?

Not on your own driveway. If the dumpster sits on a public street, sidewalk, or other right-of-way, you need approval from Tampa Mobility (ROW Permitting). Call (813) 274-3104 to apply. The city sets the fee, so confirm it before booking. Processing takes about 12-15 business days. HOA rules may also apply.

How much does a dumpster rental cost in Tampa?

Where does trash from Tampa dumpsters go?

Much of the mixed debris from Tampa goes to McKay Bay Transfer Station & Scale House, 114 S 34th St, Tampa, FL 33605, operated by City of Tampa Solid Waste. Haulers may route loads through transfer stations or recycling facilities first. Call (813) 274-8811 for current hours and rules.

What can't I put in a dumpster in Tampa?

Most haulers bar hazardous waste, liquid paint and solvents, tires, batteries, appliances with refrigerant, asbestos, medical waste, and liquids, and many also bar electronics. Ask your hauler for their full prohibited-items list and any fees for special materials, or check our list of what can go in a dumpster.

How long can I keep a rental dumpster in Tampa?

Many haulers include about a week in the base price and charge a daily fee after that, so ask for the extra-day rate when you compare quotes. If the dumpster is on the street under a permit, the permit's end date is the limit.

What is the cheapest dumpster rental in Tampa?

The cheapest option in Tampa is usually a 10-yard dumpster at about $450 for 7 days, base weight included. A short 3-day rental can bring that closer to $405.
