Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal

Hauling company, Tampa Bay area

Locally owned hauling company offering junk removal, estate and hoarding cleanouts, and roll-off dumpster rental across St. Petersburg and Pinellas County.

About

Elephants Dumpster Rental & Junk Removal is a St. Petersburg hauling company, in business since 2021, that clears whole homes as well as single items. Its crews do the lifting, loading and disposal. It also rents 10- to 30-yard roll-off dumpsters for families who would rather load at their own pace. Estate and hoarding cleanouts are priced by truck volume, and the company offers a free walkthrough.

On estate jobs, the family sets up a keep-room for photos and papers. Crews check pockets, books and drawers before loading, usable goods go to donation, and out-of-state executors can get photo records. On hoarding jobs, the resident decides what goes. The work moves at the household's pace, and crews wear protective gear where needed. The company says it does not handle biohazard remediation. It suits families, executors, landlords and case workers in Pinellas County and Tampa.
