Who we are: locally owned dumpster rental and junk removal in Pinellas County

Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal is a locally owned dumpster rental, junk removal, cleanout, and demolition company based in Pinellas County, Florida. We serve St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Largo, Seminole, Pinellas Park, Gulfport, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, and every beach community along the Gulf.

We are not a franchise. When you call 727-240-7033 you reach people who live here, know these condo buildings and HOA rules, and are still working the week after a hurricane.

Two Ways to Get It Gone

Roll-off dumpster rental – a 10, 15, 20, or 30 yard container dropped at your property so you can load on your own schedule over several days. Best for renovations, roofing, and gradual cleanouts when you have people to load it.

Full-service junk removal – our crew comes to the item, does all the lifting and carrying, and hauls it away. Best for a single pile, items inside the house, or when you cannot give up the driveway.

We provide both, so we have no reason to steer you. Describe your project and we will tell you which one actually costs less – including when free curbside bulk collection from your city would serve you better than paying anyone.

What Elephants does: junk removal, cleanouts, demolition and storm cleanup

Residential

Residential junk removal throughout Pinellas – furniture, mattresses, appliances, refrigerators, electronics, hot tubs, playsets, trampolines, pianos, and single item pickup.

Cleanouts

Whole-house, garage, attic, and storage unit cleanouts, plus sensitive work handled with patience and discretion: estate, hoarding, senior housing, eviction, and foreclosure cleanouts.

Commercial

Business junk removal for offices, retail, restaurants, and warehouses, with dedicated property management and HOA accounts and certificates of insurance kept on file.

Demolition and Debris

Light and interior demolition, kitchen and bathroom tear-outs, decks, fences, concrete, and construction debris – with debris removal included.

Storm Response

Hurricane and storm debris removal countywide. Pinellas is a peninsula taking surge from both the Gulf and Tampa Bay, and we do not raise prices after storms.

Why Pinellas County Calls Us

Flat Written Pricing

You get a flat price before work begins – no hourly meter, no number that grows once the truck is loaded, and no fuel surcharge invented at the end. Labor, carry-out, disassembly, truck, dump fees, and recycling are all in one number. If the scope turns out larger, we stop and re-quote rather than billing a surprise. See our pricing page.

Insured and Background-Checked

Every crew member is background-checked, uniformed, and fully insured. We provide certificates of insurance to condo associations, HOAs, property managers, and general contractors in advance, since most Pinellas properties require one on file.

Donation and Recycling First

The landfill is our last option. Usable goods go to local Pinellas nonprofits, metal to scrap recycling, electronics to an electronics recycler, cardboard to a paper mill, clean concrete is crushed for road base, and refrigerant appliances get certified refrigerant recovery as federal law requires.

Honest Limits

We tell you what we cannot do. Household hazardous waste – paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, propane – must go to the Pinellas County household hazardous waste facility. We do not handle medical or biohazard waste, sharps, or asbestos, we are not a licensed mold remediation or pest control company, and we do not perform electrical, plumbing, gas, or structural work. Honest limits are a feature, not a weakness.

St. Petersburg dumpster and junk removal guides, written by the owner

The long answers used to live on this page. They now have pages of their own, so you can send them to a neighbor, a tenant or a contractor. Every one is checked against the city’s own rules and our real prices.

What size dumpster fits a St. Petersburg driveway?

Weight picks the size and the driveway picks what fits. A 20-yard needs about 22 feet to sit on and 60 behind it for the truck, which rules out half the 1920s driveways north of Central. The oaks, the brick streets, the neighborhoods that need a smaller box, and the real permit rules.

Will the city pick up my junk for free?

There is no routine curbside brush pickup in St. Pete. Special pickup takes 3 cubic yards of furniture free, then $25.65 a yard. The exact caps, the five drop-off sites, and the honest math on when a dumpster or junk removal is actually cheaper.

Where does your junk actually go?

Most loads go to the Pinellas County Solid Waste Complex at 3095 114th Ave N. Metal to scrap, usable furniture to nonprofits, refrigerant recovered as federal law requires, and paint and chemicals to the county HHW center — never in our truck.

Hurricane debris: what to do first

Photograph, separate the pile, keep hazardous material out, and check the city’s free collection before you pay anyone. Updated with what Helene and Milton actually did to St. Pete and which neighborhoods take water first. We do not raise prices after a storm.

Every St. Petersburg ZIP code, and what is actually in it

St. Petersburg’s geographic ZIP codes run 33701 through 33716 — sixteen of them. Anything numbered higher in the 337xx range is a PO box or a single-company ZIP, not somewhere a truck can go. Here is what sits inside each one, including the few that trip people up.

ZIPWhat is in itWorth knowing
33701Downtown, the Pier District, Mirror Lake, Williams Park, Roser Park, southern Old Northeast, part of Bartlett ParkRoser Park is 33701, not 33705. Half the directories online have this wrong.

33716Carillon and the Gateway business districtThe city’s northern tip, and where the county landfill sits.

Neighborhoods that straddle two ZIPs: Old Northeast (33701/33704), Pinellas Point (33705/33712), Bartlett Park (33701/33705), Childs Park (33711/33712), Disston Heights (33709/33710), Gateway (33702/33716). If your address sits on a boundary it changes nothing about what you pay — we quote a flat price regardless of where in the county you are.

If it helps to place us

We work the blocks behind the Pier and Williams Park downtown, the streets off 4th North around Sunken Gardens, the bungalow grid west of Tropicana Field, the waterfront cul-de-sacs in Shore Acres and Venetian Isles, and all the way out to Isla del Sol and across the Bayway. Fort De Soto and Tierra Verde are county rather than city and we go there too. If you can see it from the Skyway on the way down, we cover it.

St. Petersburg questions we get asked most

Yes, and they solve different problems. Roll-off dumpster rental is for projects you want to load yourself over several days — remodels, roof tear-offs, long cleanouts. Full-service junk removal means our crew shows up, carries everything out and sweeps the space, usually in a couple of hours. If you are not sure which is cheaper for your job, call 727-240-7033 and describe the pile. We will tell you honestly, even when the honest answer is the smaller option.

We focus hardest on St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa, and we cover the rest of Pinellas County on the same schedule: Largo, Pinellas Park, Seminole, Dunedin, Palm Harbor, Tarpon Springs, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar, East Lake, Gulfport, Kenneth City, South Pasadena, Tierra Verde and the four Belleair towns, plus every beach community from St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island through Madeira Beach, Indian Rocks Beach, Indian Shores, the Redington beaches and Clearwater Beach. Across the bay in Hillsborough County we work South Tampa, Seminole Heights, Ybor City, Westchase, Carrollwood and Temple Terrace.

Often, yes. Same-day and next-day slots are common in St. Petersburg and Clearwater because that is where our trucks start the morning, and Tampa is usually next-day. It depends on the size of the load and how the route already looks. Call early in the day for the best chance, and we will give you a real arrival window instead of a vague promise.

Both. On the residential side that means homeowners, renters, landlords and families handling estates. On the commercial side we work with contractors, property managers, HOAs, offices, retail stores, restaurants, warehouses, roofers, realtors and restoration companies. Commercial work can be scheduled after hours or on weekends when a building has to stay open during business hours.

Four sizes: 10-yard, 15-yard, 20-yard and 30-yard roll-offs. A 10-yard fits a small bathroom remodel or a heavy load like concrete, dirt or shingles. The 15-yard and 20-yard cover most household cleanouts and mid-size remodels. The 30-yard is for whole-house cleanouts, large construction jobs and big estate clearances. If you are between sizes we will steer you to the one that avoids an overage fee, not the one that costs more.

Nearly everything that is not hazardous: furniture, mattresses, appliances, electronics, hot tubs, sheds, playsets, exercise equipment, construction debris, yard waste, scrap metal and complete estate and hoarding cleanouts. We do not take paint, solvents, fuels, chemicals, propane tanks, asbestos or medical waste. Household hazardous waste belongs at the Pinellas County HHW facility, and we will tell you exactly where to take it.

Yes. Our crew does the lifting, loading, hauling and basic cleanup, so nothing lands on you. That includes carrying items down stairs, out of attics, garages and storage units, and disassembling bulky pieces when they will not fit through a door. We sweep the area before we leave. Everything usable gets sorted for donation or recycling before the rest is disposed of.

Yes. We put down driveway protection under the rails before the container touches the surface, which matters on pavers, stamped concrete and older Florida driveways that crack easily. We also look at overhead tree limbs and power lines before placement. If your driveway will not safely take a roll-off, we will say so and offer full-service junk removal instead.

Yes. Quotes are free and the estimate is upfront. Pricing is based on volume, weight and access, and the number we give you includes labor, hauling and disposal fees — there is no separate dump charge added at the end. Call 727-240-7033 or send photos and we will price it before anyone is committed to anything.

Hazardous and restricted material. That means paint, solvents, motor oil, fuel, pesticides, pool chemicals, propane tanks, car batteries, asbestos, lead paint debris, medical or biohazard waste and contaminated soil. We are also not licensed for mold remediation, pest treatment, or disconnecting gas, electrical or plumbing lines. Take household hazardous waste to the Pinellas County HHW facility, and call us with anything you are unsure about.

Permits, driveways, condos and bulk pickup

Short answer first, then the detail.

Do I need a permit for a dumpster in St. Petersburg?

Not for your own driveway or private property. Yes, if the dumpster has to sit on a city street or in the right-of-way — that needs a right-of-way permit from the City of St. Petersburg’s Engineering & Capital Improvements department, reachable at (727) 893-7238 or row_permitting@stpete.org. Tell us where the container needs to go and we will tell you which one applies before delivery day.

How fast can you get a dumpster to me in St. Pete?

Usually within 24 hours, and often the same day if you call in the morning. St. Petersburg is our home base, so we are not driving in from another county. Call or text 727-240-7033 and we will tell you honestly what today looks like.

What size dumpster fits in a St. Pete driveway?

A 10 or 15-yard fits nearly every driveway in the city. A 20-yard needs about 22 feet of run plus roughly 60 feet of clearance for the truck. The older neighborhoods — Old Northeast, Historic Kenwood, Crescent Lake — often cannot take a 20 or a 30 because of driveway length and low oak canopy. Send a photo and we will size it for you.

Where does my junk actually go?

The Pinellas County Solid Waste Disposal Complex at 3095 114th Ave N in St. Petersburg takes most of it. Metal goes to scrap recycling, electronics to an electronics recycler, usable goods to local Pinellas nonprofits, and refrigerant appliances through certified refrigerant recovery. We use the landfill last, not first.

What will you not take?

Household hazardous waste — paint, solvents, pesticides, pool chemicals, motor oil, propane — which belongs at the county HHW center at 2855 109th Ave N. Also no medical or biohazard waste, no sharps, and no asbestos.

Do you work in downtown condos and HOA properties?

Yes, regularly. Most St. Petersburg associations require a certificate of insurance naming them before we come on site. Give us the association or management company name when you book and we will send it ahead, usually the same day.

Should I just use the city’s free bulk pickup instead?

Sometimes, and we will tell you when. But know what the city actually offers: St. Petersburg has no routine curbside brush collection. Yard waste has to fit inside your 90-gallon cart with the lid closed, and limbs thicker than three inches or longer than four feet are not accepted in it at all. Piling garden trash at the curb is against city code and they will remove it and bill you. What the city does run is on-call special pickup — SeeClickFix or 727-893-7398 — free for up to three cubic yards of furniture, carpet and appliances, then $25.65 per cubic yard after that. If your pile fits in the free allowance, use it. Call us for anything bigger, anything the cart will not hold, or anything inside the house.
