This brush site is located In the Azalea neighborhood and is next to Walter Fuller Recreation Center. Very conveniently located at the Westside of the City of St Petersburg the main purpose of the site is for the recycling of plastics mixed metal materials and any kinds of paper or cardboard materials with a clearly visible recycling ♻️ symbol located on it. Also this is a brush site for yard and lawn debris from residential properties within the city limits of St Petersburg only no outside areas will be accepted. All you need to access the site is present a valid Florida issued drivers license or a current St Petersburg utilities account with the residential property address on it!

I removed a large tree limb from above my house and hauled the brush with a 12 foot trailer. The employees at the dump verified my address on my driver’s license and I was given access without a hassle. I had contact with three employees over the few days I hauled.

Great staff/employees but site is full now and not because of space but simply because the people at the top didn't use common sense and keep a frontloader employee or frontloader present on-site to compress and push brush into a pile. Now you can't even get in because brush is covering the whole lot very poor planning by our city officials. Share the resources and earn your titles at the top especially knowing before hand we had a hurricane coming.🙄
