Guides & advice
Ten articles written for people actually working on properties in Pinellas County — not generic filler. Sizing, real costs, permits, storm debris, and the local rules that catch people out.
All articles
Every article here is grounded in Pinellas County specifics — the Route 5 transfer station, the free county clean-up day, and what a western Florida storm season does to a property.
Most sizing guides lead with cubic yards. Around here that number is actually useful for once — because the City measures your annual bulky allowance in them too.
Four bulky collections a year at 10 cubic yards each is a genuinely decent allowance. Knowing exactly where it stops tells you when you need a container.
Pinellas burns most of its waste rather than burying it. That single fact explains almost every item on the prohibited list.
After a storm the rules change, and the single most useful thing you can know is that the piles have to be six feet apart.
The placement answer is usually no. The more useful question around here is whether your Largo address is actually in the City of Largo at all.
The City will not collect construction material left by a contractor. That single line defines the entire market for this service.
Clearing a family home is not a logistics problem with feelings attached. It is an emotional process with logistics attached, and the order you do things in matters.
Roofing is where sizing goes wrong most often, and around here it is nearly always the same mistake: treating a tile roof like a shingle roof.
A loaded roll-off puts several tons on four small steel contact points. On sandy ground beside a drainage swale, that matters more than people expect.
Four collections a year at ten cubic yards each is a genuinely good allowance. Knowing exactly where it stops saves you money and a wasted week.
Still have a question?
These guides cover the questions we get asked most. If yours is not here, ring us — we would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ready when you are
Call and talk to a real dispatcher in Largo — not a national call centre. Flat-rate pricing, same-day drop-off on most orders, and drivers who know every neighbourhood from the SLU campus to Clearwater.
