Solid Waste
Crews have finished making sweeps through neighborhoods to remove storm debris. However, we are aware that some items, such as fencing and recently cut up trees that were damaged by the storm, need to be picked up. Please contact Utility Billing (813) 659-4222 to request a work order for collection of these items and non-storm related items that should not be placed in the garbage cart.
Separate fencing, furniture, and appliances from vegetative debris. Piles should be at least 3 feet away from each other and from objects, utility equipment, and wires. Keep items out of the road.
Thank you!

Power Outage Tips – Tampa Electric
Rain and high winds can bring down power lines in our community and/or cause power outages. Please follow these safety tips from Tampa Electric:
- If you will be using a generator, NEVER connect it to your home's circuits. Connecting your generator to the circuits may cause power to flow to outside lines, posing life-threatening danger to restoration crews.
- Stay away from downed power lines.
- Use portable generators safely.
- Plug your appliances directly into the generator.
- Stay out of floodwaters because they can hide energized power lines.
- Don't take portable generators into homes or any enclosed space (like a garage) where deadly carbon monoxide gases could build up.
During a power outage, please limit your water usage as it can cause water pressure to drop resulting in potential contamination.
