Some junk piles up slowly. A broken recliner on the porch. Storm limbs stacked by the fence. Leftover drywall from a bathroom remodel. Then one day it all has to go. Darrell’s Lawn & Tree Services gives Tampa homes and businesses fast, affordable removal of yard waste, construction debris, old furniture and household junk. We have been working in Hillsborough County since 2010, we are licensed and insured, and we haul with our own dump trucks.
What We Haul From Tampa Properties
- Yard waste: branches, palm fronds, shrub cuttings, old mulch and storm debris.
- Construction debris: leftover lumber, drywall, tile and fencing from remodels and repairs.
- Furniture: couches, mattresses, tables, dressers and patio sets.
- Household junk: garage and shed cleanouts, attic clutter and move-out leftovers.
Because we are also a tree and land clearing company, we are comfortable with big, heavy and awkward loads that a small junk outfit might turn down.
Junk Removal in Tampa, FL vs. Waiting on Bulk Pickup
Public options are worth knowing. Sometimes they are all you need. Here is how they compare.
City of Tampa S.W.E.E.P. Collection
The city’s S.W.E.E.P. program gives eligible residential customers in single-family homes and small multi-unit buildings one prescheduled bulk collection per year at no added cost. It takes items like furniture, mattresses, appliances with Freon removed, and tree limbs. It does not take building materials such as fences, tile, brick, drywall, doors, windows or concrete blocks. It also skips loose yard waste like grass clippings and leaves. City residents with active accounts can drop large items at the McKay Bay Scale House on South 34th Street for free. New Tampa is served by the county, not the city program.
Hillsborough County Community Collection Centers
In unincorporated areas, the county runs Community Collection Centers. County Solid Waste customers get 10 cubic yards of free bulky-waste disposal per year. You need a photo ID and a copy of your property tax bill. Bulky items must be unloaded by hand, dump trailers are not allowed, and staff do not help unload. You also need to be able to lift items at least 4 feet. Businesses are not authorized to use these sites.
When It Makes Sense to Call Us
Call a hauler when your pickup date is months away, when the material is not accepted, or when you simply cannot lift and load it yourself. We do the lifting, loading and hauling, and we leave the area raked and clear.
Residential Junk Removal
Homeowners usually call us after a big project or before a big change. We help with:
- Garage, shed and carport cleanouts
- Estate and move-out cleanouts
- Old swing sets, hot tub surrounds and broken fencing
- Yard debris after trimming or a storm
- Remodel leftovers when the contractor did not haul everything
We can pair the haul-off with tree trimming, lawn cleanup or land clearing, so one visit takes care of the whole yard.
Tampa Junk Removal for Property Managers and Businesses
Commercial sites cannot use the county drop-off centers, so they need a hauler they can count on. We work with:
- Property managers and landlords clearing units between tenants.
- HOAs dealing with items dumped in common areas or by the gate.
- Builders and remodelers who need construction debris gone before a final walkthrough.
- Retail centers and offices clearing out old fixtures, shelving and furniture.
We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That makes it easier to work before stores open or after tenants leave for the day.
Where We Haul Around Tampa
We are based at 3824 N Whittier St, so we cover the whole county from a central spot. We clear porches and alleys in Ybor City and Tampa Heights, where older homes and tight lots make loading tricky. We haul from family homes in Town ‘n’ Country, Westchase and Lutz. We clean out rental properties along Busch Boulevard and near Armenia Avenue, and we handle jobs around Raymond James Stadium and the West Tampa side of town. We also serve Wesley Chapel, Land O’ Lakes and Zephyrhills in Pasco County, and Spring Hill in Hernando County.
How Our Junk Removal Process Works
First, you request an estimate. Second, we visit the site to see the load and agree on what goes. Third, our crew loads and hauls everything away. Fourth, we do a final walkthrough with you so nothing is left behind.

Junk Removal FAQs
What kinds of junk do you remove?
Yard waste, construction debris, old furniture and general household junk are the core of what we haul. If you are not sure about an item, call 813-680-3844 and ask before you pile it up.
Why not just wait for the City of Tampa bulk pickup?
If you live in the city and your item is on the accepted list, the free S.W.E.E.P. pickup is a good option. It happens once a year for eligible homes, and it does not take building materials such as tile, brick, drywall or concrete blocks. We are useful when the timing does not work or the material is not accepted.
Can I haul it to a county collection center myself?
Hillsborough County Solid Waste customers can take bulky waste to a Community Collection Center with a photo ID and a copy of their property tax bill. You have to unload by hand, staff will not help, and dump trailers are not allowed. Businesses are not authorized to use these centers.
Do I have to be home during the pickup?
Not always. If the items are outside and easy to reach, we can often work while you are away. We do the on-site assessment first, so we will agree on what goes and what stays before the crew arrives.
Do you work with property managers and landlords?
Yes. We clear out units after move-outs, remove dumped items from common areas and haul off debris after renovations. We are licensed and insured and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
How do I get a price?
