The City of Tampa's Department of Solid Waste has announced an adjustment to the hours of its vegetative debris sites due to the onset of daylight saving time, effective November 3, 2024. Residents will have access to two citizen drop-off locations where they can dispose of hurricane vegetative debris only. These sites will be open every day from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, providing a convenient option for residents to manage storm debris. The designated locations for drop-off are 22nd Street Park at 7801 N. 22nd Street and Gadsen Park at 6901 S MacDill Avenue.

To assist residents in managing their waste, the Tampa Trash and Recycling tool is available for checking collection schedules and can be accessed online or via a mobile app. The article emphasizes the importance of these adjustments in the context of effective waste management during storm seasons. For any inquiries or further assistance, residents may contact the City of Tampa Utilities Call Center at (813) 274-8811. This proactive measure underlines Tampa's commitment to providing reliable services to its residents.
