St. Petersburg Landfill, Dump & Recycling — Hours, Fees & What They Take

St. Petersburg's disposal runs through Pinellas County's Bridgeway Acres Landfill — and the flat rates are the story: $4.25 for a carload, $11.75 for a pickup. Here are the hours, the real fees, and your options when it's more than you want to haul.

Pinellas County handles disposal for St. Petersburg and the rest of the county. For most households the County's Solid Waste Disposal Complex is the answer, and household chemicals go to the County's HHW Center just down the road. Here's how each works.

What it costs to dump in St. Petersburg

St. Petersburg's disposal is refreshingly cheap for a small load. The County complex charges a flat $4.25 for a car and $11.75 for an unmodified pickup or van — so a garage clean-out that fits in your car or truck is just a few dollars.

Larger loads, anything on a trailer, and trucks with modified sidewalls are weighed and pay $58.86 a ton, rising to $63.57 on October 1 pending County approval. Waste from outside Pinellas County pays a surcharge equal to the per-ton rate, so it costs double. Call (727) 464-7500 with questions.

Haul it yourself, or hire junk removal? — St. Petersburg

Clearing a whole house, a rental, or a remodel? Two ways people handle the big stuff here:

Haul it yourself — cheapest by a long way if you have a vehicle and can lift it. The gate rates above are the whole cost.
Junk-removal crew — a crew does the loading and hauls it away — check whether the price you are quoted is for curbside or in-home collection. Usually the better call for heavy furniture, appliances, or a cleanout on a deadline.

Not sure which is cheaper for your load? Check an upfront junk-removal price and weigh it against the gate fee — no obligation either way.

How do I get rid of a large or heavy load in St. Petersburg?

Haul it to Bridgeway Acres and pay the flat or per-ton rate, or get a junk-removal crew to carry it out and haul it. If you'd rather not do the lifting, check an upfront junk-removal price.
