Residents In Del Rio, Nuccio Neighborhoods To Fight Blight

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL ? How a community looks can impact how residents feel. Illegal dump sites and code violations can affect health, safety and property values throughout a neighborhood.

To help prevent this, Hillsborough County?s Rapid Response team is offering free curbside pickup in the Del Rio and Nuccio neighborhoods for items that normally would require a trip to the landfill.

From Friday, Nov. 12 to Friday, Nov. 19, Hillsborough County residents who live in the area can put furniture, junk and debris, metal, electronics and up to five non-commercial tires at their curbside, and the Rapid Response team will haul away the materials for free.

Items must be placed out by 5 a.m. on the days of collection; placement the night before is recommended.

Free disposal is open to residents who live within the following boundaries:

North: Porpoise Drive
South: East Henry Avenue
East: North 50th Street
West: North 43rd Street

Hillsborough County Code Enforcement encourages residents to take advantage of the free disposal and restore their property to avoid code violations. Yard waste, commercial vehicle tires and hazardous chemicals will not be accepted.
