Community Collection Center (CCC)

Community Collection Center (CCC) on W Linebaugh is the local drop-off most Tampa residents use for household cleanouts and yard debris. People show up in pickups, trailers and stuffed SUVs - it's the kind of place neighbors go when hauling things that won't fit at the curb.

Drive up a lane to an entrance booth where attendants usually direct traffic and tell drivers where to go. There's typically a scale area and a few pull-up lanes so vehicles stop, unload, then leave through the exit. The site feels industrial: concrete pads, large containers and traffic lanes more than landscaping. Expect lines on weekends and during spring cleanup, and remember hurricane season can change operations or lead to short-term closures.
