Citizens of Hillsborough County, prepare for a refresh as the Rapid Response team gears up for a week-long cleanup in Del Rio and Dover. According to an announcement on the Hillsborough County official newsroom, residents can put their bulky items out for curbside collection from May 19 to May 23. They're hauling away old furniture, electronics, and even metal debris, but remember, no hazardous materials or commercial tires in this haul.

On pickup days, all items must hit the curbside by 5 a.m., but placing them out the night before is a bright move. It covers non-commercial tires, capped at five per resident, alongside a mix of junk and assorted debris cluttering up your space. Just make sure that you live within the designated areas: Del Rio's boundaries span from Porpoise Drive and Sligh Avenue to North 50th Street and Trout Street, while Dover encompasses the zone between Blackjack Road and East Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, flanked by Bethlehem Road and Lindsey Street.

Funded by the solid waste assessments paid yearly by property owners, this initiative is more than just a cleanup—it's about pride, health, and the value of your property. Stay ahead of code violations by clearing out what you don't need, and call (813) 274-6600 if there are more details you need to nail down.
