Southeast Hillsborough County Landfill

Southeast Hillsborough County Landfill in Lithia is the county landfill where residents and commercial haulers bring loads that won’t fit in curbside pickup. It’s the kind of place people use for big cleanouts or construction debris, and it gets noticeably busier on weekends and during spring clean-up season.

Pull up to an entrance booth and a large scale - trucks and trailers are weighed, so expect to stop again on the way out. After weighing, follow the drive lanes to the active tipping area; there will be heavy equipment and dirt ramps, with long, compacted cells and piles of cover soil around. Fees are charged by weight (tipping fees), and county landfills commonly accept commercial loads billed accordingly. Keep in mind hurricane season can disrupt operations, and household hazardous items are often handled through separate county collection events rather than the landfill itself.
