The Hillsborough County Solid Waste Management Department (SWMD) is responsible for the overall operation of the Hillsborough County Integrated Solid Waste Management System (System) which provides for the collection, transportation, and disposition of all of the solid waste generated or brought into the System service area. This service area is well defined by State legislation as the unincorporated area of the County as of June 1983. In addition, based on inter-local agreements with the City of Tampa and Temple Terrace, the System also provides various services to these communities.

To accomplish this mission, the SWMD provides a wide range of services which combine to make up the Integrated System. These services are provided utilizing 139 budgeted positions which are organized into the following Sections.

  • Fiscal Services
  • Customer Services
  • Landfill Services
  • Management & Environmental Services
  • Transfer/Operations Services

The SWMD's efforts are focused on quality customer service and on the continuous improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of the services provided.


Distinguishing Attributes of the System

There are many attributes of the System which distinguish it from other solid waste management systems across the country and have resulted in the System being recognized as one of the foremost solid waste management systems in the country. While many solid waste management systems possess some of these attributes, very few possess all of these attributes. Click here for full details of the system attributes.


Integrated Solid Waste Management System Services

The services provided by the System can be divided into two distinct categories: those services directly related to the disposition of the solid waste; and those services which support the disposition services. It is important to note that one requirement which is critical to the successful operation of the System is that customers must properly separate their solid waste.
