Hillsborough County Landfill Tipping Fees & Per-Ton Overage Rules for Tampa Dumpsters
Primary Disposal Facility: McKay Bay Transfer Station & Scale House (City of Tampa) & Hillsborough County Southeast County Landfill (McKay Bay Scale House: 114 S 34th St, Tampa, FL 33605 | Hillsborough County Southeast Landfill: 15960 County Rd 672, Lithia, FL 33547) [2]
- Official Landfill / Transfer Station Rate: Commercial / C&D scale tipping rate ~$55–$75/ton (credit card only at McKay Bay); City of Tampa residential solid waste customers get FREE drop-off of furniture, mattresses & up to 2 appliances at 114 S 34th St (up to 5 visits/year, max 1,000 lbs) [2]
- Typical Private Roll-Off Overage Rate: $60 to $80 per ton above your container’s included weight limit
- At the McKay Bay Scale House (114 S 34th St, Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri 7:00 a.m.–5:30 p.m., Wed & Sat 7:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.), City of Tampa residential account holders can drop off furniture, mattresses, grills, and up to 2 appliances for free with matching photo ID and Tampa utility bill—but construction debris (tile, plywood, roofing, fencing, drywall, plaster) and carpet are ALWAYS charged as paid disposal.
- McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility strictly prohibits bricks, rocks, cinder blocks, dirt, and wet drywall mud—so heavy masonry roll-off loads in Tampa must be routed to dedicated C&D recycling facilities or Hillsborough County disposal sites.
- Tampa’s annual SWEEP curbside bulky program only runs once per year per zone and excludes C&D remodeling debris.
How Tonnage Overages Work: Roll-off dumpster rentals in Tampa include 2 to 4 tons of disposal weight. If wet storm-damaged drywall, tile, or roofing shingles push your container past the weight allowance, overages are billed at $60–$80/ton.
Tampa, FL Street Permit Rules, Right-of-Way Regulations & HOA Driveway Guidelines
Municipal Permit Authority: City of Tampa Transportation & Stormwater Services — Right of Way Permitting Section (Accela Portal) [4]
- Private Driveway Placement (No City Permit Needed): No City of Tampa permit is required when your roll-off dumpster sits 100% on your private driveway behind the public sidewalk and property line.
- Public Street / Right-of-Way Permit Requirements: Placing a temporary structure (dumpster, trailer, or POD) in the City of Tampa public right-of-way requires a Planning — Right of Way Permit Application in Accela (tampa.gov/tss-transportation/programs-and-services/right-way-permits), including a Certificate of Insurance, a Site Plan showing the fire lane, and a Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Plan. Standard ROW permit review takes 12 to 15 business days, and a 48-hour Work Start Notice is required before the ROW Permit Placard is issued.
- Local HOA & Subdivision Restrictions in Tampa: Master-planned HOAs in New Tampa (Tampa Palms, Hunter’s Green), Westchase, Harbour Island, and Davis Islands enforce strict driveway duration limits and architectural/HOA notice rules.
- Driveway Protection & Delivery Clearance Tips: Because Tampa’s Accela ROW permit requires a 12–15 business day review and MOT plan, always stage your dumpster on your private driveway on 3/4-inch plywood boards (especially on decorative brick pavers in South Tampa and Hyde Park).
Items Prohibited in Tampa Roll-Off Dumpsters (Where to Dispose of Them Instead)
Because every roll-off load in Tampa is inspected at McKay Bay Transfer Station & Scale House (City of Tampa) & Hillsborough County Southeast County Landfill under state and municipal solid-waste rules [2], haulers strictly prohibit or surcharge the following items inside a mixed roll-off container:
- Bricks, Rocks, Cinder Blocks, Dirt & Wet Drywall Mud at McKay Bay: Never mix bricks, rocks, cinder blocks, or dirt into a general household/remodel dumpster in Tampa—McKay Bay rejects masonry, requiring a dedicated clean-concrete/masonry load.
- Construction Debris in Tampa SWEEP Curbside Pickup & Free McKay Bay Visits: Tile, plywood, roofing, fencing, drywall, plaster, and carpet are excluded from free residential SWEEP/McKay Bay disposal and require a paid C&D roll-off or private hauler.
- Electronics, Paint, Batteries & Propane Tanks: Banned from McKay Bay and roll-off dumpsters; City of Tampa residents can take HHW and electronics to designated Hillsborough County collection centers at no extra charge.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 20 yard dumpster rental cost in Tampa, FL?
A 20 yard roll-off dumpster in Tampa, FL typically costs $385 to $545 for a 7- to 10-day rental period, including delivery, pickup, and 2 to 3 tons of weight allowance. Additional weight above the cap is billed at $60 to $80 per ton.
Do I need a permit to place a dumpster on the street in Tampa, FL?
Yes. Placing a dumpster or POD in the City of Tampa public right-of-way requires a Right of Way Permit submitted through the City’s Accela portal with a Certificate of Insurance, a Site Plan showing fire lanes, and a Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan (allow 12–15 business days for review). Private driveway placement requires no city permit.
Is construction debris free for Tampa residents at the McKay Bay Scale House?
No. While active City of Tampa residential solid waste customers can drop off furniture, mattresses, and up to 2 appliances for free at McKay Bay (114 S 34th St), construction debris (tile, plywood, roofing, fencing, drywall, plaster) and carpet always require a paid disposal fee by credit card, and bricks, rocks, cinder blocks, and dirt are strictly prohibited.
When is full-service junk hauling better than a roll-off dumpster in Tampa, FL?
Because City of Tampa Accela Right-of-Way street permits require 12 to 15 business days of review plus a Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan, Tampa homeowners without private driveway space or with only 1–3 pickup loads of clutter save time and money by booking a 2-person junk hauling crew ($85–$325).
