Frequently Asked Questions

Can individuals drop off recycling at the WM Tampa facility on N 53rd St?

Yes. The facility at 6210 N 53rd St accepts public drop-offs for cardboard, glass, plastics #1–2, electronics, appliances, newspapers, and metal/batteries during operating hours (Mon–Fri 6 AM–4 PM, Sat 6 AM–noon).

Does WM Tampa Recycling Center accept household hazardous waste (paint, chemicals)?

No. Hillsborough County residents should use the Hillsborough County HHW facility for paints, pesticides, and similar items — not the WM MRF on N 53rd St.
