Waste Facility
Alderman Ford Community Collection Center
9402 S County Rd 39, Plant City, FL 33567
(813) 757-3820Alderman Ford Community Collection Center is the small county lot off S County Rd 39 that Plant City folks use for household cleanouts and smaller loads. Locals go here when a pickup or trailer load needs dumping rather than hauling to a landfill farther away. It’s a working, no-frills spot with roll-off containers and a check-in area by the entrance.
Pull in and slow down for a booth or check-in point near the drive; people usually pause there before heading to the drop areas. The site is mostly open pavement with large dumpsters and roll-off boxes-drivers back trailers or pull trucks up to unload. Many community collection centers have a scale, so be prepared for a stop on the way out and possible weight-based charges. Weekends fill up, and hurricane season or post-storm cleanups will make lines worse, so plan extra time when those events happen.
Facility Information
Before You Go
- Cover and tie down loose items before coming-County Road 39 can get windy and things blow out of truck beds.
- Sort recyclables, scrap metal and household trash in separate piles at home so unloading goes faster at the drop-off.
- Skip mid-morning on Saturdays and the first few days after community cleanup efforts or storms; if possible, go early on a weekday to avoid backups.
