Commercial Dumpsters and Roll-Offs
Dumpsters
Dumpsters are available for use at the Yard Waste Facility for a cost of $80 per ton with a $30 minimum.
No tires or roofing shingles allowed in dumpsters.
- To order a commercial dumpster: Call 727-942-5609.
- Issues with existing dumpsters: Call 727-943-4837 or email solidwaste@ctsfl.us.
Roll-Offs
Section 8-13 of the city code provides that only the City may collect and dispose of waste. Because the city contracts with Waste Management for collection and disposal, roll off containers that are available from Waste Management should be used.
- If a roll off container is used for recyclable materials or a size not available through Waste Management, a different company may be used.
