Whether you’re clearing out your garage, tackling a home renovation, or just tired of that old recliner sitting in your driveway, you’re not alone. Figuring out how to get rid of junk in Lutz can feel overwhelming, especially with all the rules, pickup limits, and hidden fees in Hillsborough County.
I’ve lived here long enough to know: some stuff’s just not worth dragging to the curb or cramming into the back of your SUV. That’s why I put together this local guide — so you can find the best way to legally and efficiently dispose of junk in Lutz, without getting fined or wasting a weekend.
Let’s break down the top options — from free county services to full-service junk hauling pros.
Before you call a junk removal company or load up a trailer, you might want to check if Hillsborough County will haul it away for free.
If you live in a single-family home in Lutz, you’re eligible for two free bulk pickups per year through the county’s solid waste program. These pickups are scheduled by appointment — they don’t happen automatically like your weekly trash service.
Old furniture (couches, dressers, mattresses)
Appliances without refrigerant (like washers or stoves)
Bundled yard debris (under 50 lbs)
Up to 2 cubic yards of junk per pickup
Paint, oils, or hazardous materials
TVs or computer monitors
Construction debris (drywall, tile, etc.)
Anything weighing over 150 lbs or over 4 feet long
If you leave unapproved items at the curb or schedule incorrectly, they’ll skip your pickup and you may even get cited.
📅 How to schedule your bulk pickup in Lutz:
Visit the official county site or call 813-272-5680 to book. Appointments fill up quickly, especially after holidays or storms.

If you’d rather not wait for the county’s bulk pickup — or if you’ve already used your two free pickups — you can always drop your junk off at a disposal center near Lutz.
The nearest Community Collection Center for most Lutz residents is:
Hillsborough Heights Transfer Station
📍 6209 County Road 579, Seffner, FL 33584
☎️ 813-272-5680
⏰ Mon–Sat, 7:30 AM – 5:00 PM
This site accepts a wide range of residential junk, including:
Old furniture and mattresses
Non-refrigerated appliances
Scrap metal and electronics
Yard waste and general debris
🔄 Pro tip: Sort your load before arriving. It’ll speed up the process and help you avoid extra fees.
Proof of residency (driver’s license or utility bill)
Covered truck bed or trailer (open loads may be rejected)
Payment if your load exceeds the free limit
Most Lutz homeowners can dump up to 2 tons per year for free — after that, small fees apply based on weight and material type.
What they don’t accept:
Hazardous waste (paint, oils, chemicals)
Tires and batteries (use separate drop-off locations)
Refrigerators or AC units with coolant still inside
Before you toss everything in the trash, take a second look — a lot of what feels like junk might actually have a second life.
Lutz has a few great options for donating usable furniture, appliances, and household goods:
Goodwill – Lutz
21983 FL-54, Lutz, FL 33549
(813) 949-1991
Habitat for Humanity ReStore (Dale Mabry)
3738 W. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33629
(813) 259-9848
These organizations often offer free pickup for large donations — but they’ll only take items in working, good condition. Torn couches, moldy mattresses, or broken TVs? They’ll say no, and you’ll be back to square one.
If your junk isn’t donation-worthy, see if it can be recycled:
Scrap metal (old bed frames, lawn equipment)
Small electronics (computers, printers)
Large appliances (fridges, stoves)
♻️ Not sure what’s recyclable or too damaged?
That’s where we come in. At Call Junk Guyz, we handle appliance disposal and sort everything responsibly.

Sometimes, the best way to get rid of junk in Lutz is to let someone else deal with it — fast, legally, and without lifting a finger.
Here’s the truth: Hillsborough County won’t touch certain items. Donation centers are picky. And disposal facilities? They’re great — but only if you have a truck, time, and tolerance for mess.
That’s where junk removal companies like Call Junk Guyz step in.
We help Lutz homeowners, landlords, and businesses every day by:
Clearing garages, attics, sheds, and entire homes
Hauling appliances, hot tubs, yard debris, and renovation waste
Handling eviction cleanouts and urgent removals
No sorting, lifting, or driving
Same-day availability in Lutz
We donate or recycle what we can
Fully insured and locally based
🧹 “When we show up, you just point. We’ll make it disappear — responsibly.”
We price based on volume, not hourly, so you’ll always know what to expect. Whether it’s a single sofa or a full-house hoard, we’ve got Lutz covered.
You might be tempted to just dump that old mattress on the side of the road or leave a broken fridge in a vacant lot — but illegal dumping in Lutz comes with serious consequences.
Hillsborough County enforces strict rules to keep communities clean and safe. If you’re caught dumping junk illegally — even just leaving items at the curb outside your pickup schedule — you could face:
💸 Fines of $500 or more
📸 Surveillance cameras and citizen reporting
🚔 Law enforcement citations for environmental violations
It’s not just risky — it’s disrespectful to your neighbors and your city.
Leaving items outside an empty property
Dumping junk near retention ponds or wooded lots
Piling bulky items on the curb without a scheduled pickup
Abandoning debris at apartment dumpsters

Phone: 813-274-6600
Or use the Hillsborough County Mobile App
If you’re overwhelmed with junk and want to avoid the fines (and the stress), a local junk removal service is the cleanest, fastest way to stay on the right side of the law.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned living in Lutz, it’s that junk piles up faster than you expect — especially after a move, renovation, or storm season.
Before you drag everything to the curb, ask yourself:
Will the county really take this?
Do I have the time (or back) to load it up?
Is it worth risking a fine?
Sometimes, the “cheapest” option ends up costing you more — in time, stress, or surprise fees.
Here’s what works best in my experience:
Schedule your free bulk pickups early in the year
Combine drop-offs and donations in one weekend
Call the pros when the job’s just too much
That’s what I did. And honestly? It saved me days of work and a whole lot of frustration.
At Call Junk Guyz, we handle everything from yard debris to full-home cleanouts — no stress, no guessing, just fast local service you can trust.
The easiest way is to hire a professional junk removal service like Call Junk Guyz. We handle everything — lifting, hauling, disposal, and even recycling — so you don’t have to worry about schedules or county rules.
Only if you’ve scheduled a bulk pickup with Hillsborough County and followed their guidelines. Leaving items without an appointment or setting out restricted materials could result in a missed pickup or a fine.
Lutz residents can use the Hillsborough Heights Transfer Station in Seffner. You’ll need proof of residency, and you can dump up to 2 tons per year for free. They accept furniture, appliances, and yard waste — but not hazardous materials.
The county won’t accept:
Paint or hazardous chemicals
Refrigerators with coolant
Construction debris, like tile or drywall
Oversized or overweight items
For these, professional junk removal is your best option.
Illegal dumping in Lutz can lead to fines over $500. Hillsborough County has surveillance in problem areas and encourages residents to report violations. It’s safer and cheaper to use approved disposal options or hire a local junk removal company.
