Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a Hillsborough County resident to use the Wimauma Solid Waste Facility?
Yes — the facility serves Hillsborough County residents only. Bring a photo ID showing your county residential address. No ID is required for dropping off standard recyclables, but it is needed for batteries, paint, electronics, and bulk items.
Does the Wimauma CCC accept household hazardous waste like pesticides or cleaning chemicals?
Not at every visit. Hillsborough County's HHW program operates on limited Saturdays at select locations — not at Wimauma on a regular basis. Call (813) 272-5680 or check hcfl.gov for the current HHW event schedule.
How many tires can I drop off per year at no extra charge?
County solid waste customers may drop off up to 12 passenger vehicle tires per year at no additional cost. Beyond that limit, tires incur tipping fees at the Southeast County Landfill. Bring your current property tax bill to confirm your solid waste assessment.
Can I bring a trailer to the Wimauma Solid Waste Facility?
Dump trailers are not permitted. The maximum vehicle length allowed is 23 feet. For large loads requiring a trailer, contact Hillsborough County Solid Waste at (813) 272-5680 for guidance on commercial disposal options.
