Illegal dumping is more than just an eyesore, it is a criminal offense. It depreciates property value and attracts crime to the surrounding area. The cost of collecting illegal dumping affects every citizen of the City. If you witness an illegal dumping in progress, obtain the tag number and call the Tampa Police non-emergency number at (813) 231-6130. After the Police Department has responded, call the Solid Waste Department at (813) 348-1111 extension 3 for collection of the debris if it is on City right of way. If the illegal dumping occurred on private property, report it to the Department of Code Enforcement, (813) 274-5545.
