Bridgeway Acres Landfill

Bridgeway Acres Landfill on 110th Avenue North is the municipal dump people use for household cleanouts and contractor loads in St. Petersburg. It’s the place where trash gets buried rather than processed - big earth mounds, heavy equipment, and trucks are the normal sight. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection oversees solid waste in the state, and hurricane season can affect whether the site is open or how busy it gets.

Drive up to an entrance booth and a weigh scale; landfills charge tipping fees by weight or load type, so expect to be weighed and billed on exit. After the scale there are lanes to pull up toward the tipping area where trucks and pickups unload, with loaders and compactors working nearby. The site looks rough - dirt roads, covered cells, and piles that are being worked on - and commercial trucks are commonly present so lines can move slowly. Weekends, spring cleanup, and post-storm days usually mean longer waits.
